Re: Thread for basic non-CGOL questions

Re: Endemic periodic patterns and still lifes
Here is some code and a smallish solution. It seems that it might be out of reach to find an optimal solution for the 3 by 3 case at the moment.

Re: What type of pattern is this?
As others have said, this pattern is an example of a crystal — a pattern that periodically expands when a periodic glider stream on the same lane is fired into it. This is perhaps the simplest and most well-known example of a crystal, because it works at an infinite number of even periods. Many othe...
