So I've come up with a much better version of the script: local g = golly() local gp = require "gplus" -- Decimal to binary converter function from http://bit.ly/2wQ9yqr because I have -- absolutely no idea where to begin making my own local function tobits(num,bits) -- returns a table of bits, most...

***EDIT: THIS SCRIPT IS OUTDATED, SEE SECOND POST FOR MUCH-IMPROVED VERSION*** I barely have any experience with Lua, so this no doubt contains a ton of inefficiencies and unnecessary nonsense, but I've attempted to create a script that can simulate any 1D Wolfram rule in a bounded universe in Goll...

Is this in reference to that post I made in the Symbiosis thread?

And, finally, a P41:

P23: Not been having any luck finding a P41, though, and 4 AM is probably not the best time to do this, so I'm going to stop for the night.

Non-trivial P38:

Wow, at first glance this rule doesn't look like anything special (just two states of GoL that mutually stabilize each other) but it's actually quite fascinating. Making random fills (I like using 25%) is quite a good way to find interesting oscillators. P22: x = 11, y = 8, rule = Symbiosis 5.B$2.2A...

Honestly have to agree here. It's gotten 1 update back in 2013 and hasn't been touched since.

This is literally the reason I haven't upgraded to iOS 10 yet.

Surprised the "spinning glider" from Move/Morley hasn't been posted yet:

It crashes iOS Golly too.

I personally like when these types of things happen. They make the rules feel more... exotic?

There's no absolute reason why those squares couldn't collapse into vacuum, given the right encouragement from the rest of the QR code. But yes, I think diehards are going to be very very rare. Just for fun I tried running this with random cells in the red area: x = 21, y = 21, rule = LifeHistory 7...

I'd like to see that, if it's not too much trouble.

So something I've wondered about for a while is, would it be possible to make a rule table that emulated the Game of Life, except rotated 45 degrees? You can rotate patterns 45 degrees (scaling them up a bit in the process) if you make orthogonally-connected cells diagonally-connected, and diagonall...

What do you mean by cycles?

I think he means oscillators.

Does this work? http://fontstruct.com/font_archives/download/1287335

Nope.

But we can still make things that act like what you've described. For example, I found a quadratic-growth MMMM 'super-breeder' in an old rule known as aurora19 a few years back. I'm sure there's some other examples out there. *looks through that thread* That is indeed a rake that creates rakes that...

¿qué?

I like the idea of having different "categories" for the like/dislike buttons if they're implemented. It's a good way to separate "I upvoted this post because I think it's funny" from "This is a really interesting idea and I want to see where it goes" and "Wow, nice work on this great pattern" and s...

In the future, put your patterns in tags like so: #CXRLE Pos=0,0 x = 21, y = 161, rule = B3678/S235678 2ob2o$b3o$5o$b6o$8o$b6o$5o$b3o$2ob2o6$2obobobobobobob2o$b15o$18o$b17ob o$21o$b17obo$18o$b15o$13o2b2o$b12o$3o2b6o$bo3bobo$2o8bo6$2obo$b3obob2o $8o$b8o$11o$b11o$11o$b8o$8o$b4o2b2o$2ob2o6$2obobobob2o$...

Looks pretty good to me.
One thing I might suggest is the ability to draw cells by clicking and dragging, perhaps.

So I guess it was only a matter of time before this was found anyway?

I thought of the glider-pulled c/4 diagonal ones.
