Stumbled upon a tiny p200 LWSS gun in LifeHistory using killer cells: x = 34, y = 26, rule = LifeHistory 26.F2$13.F17.F2$24.F3$33.F5$F25.F3$23.F3$12.A$12.2A2$17.A$15.A.A$17.A 2$10.F! Unfortunately it can't be doubled to a p100 gun. EDIT: Accidentally found a glider-to-glider+hat converter: x = 12, y...

4-glider synthesis of a Rabbits relative. Stabilizes at T=17,420.

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 7, rule = B3/S23

A weird p54 gun in LifeHistory with a transparent blinker. If the blinker is removed, it gets replaced and no glider is produced: x = 75, y = 16, rule = LifeHistory 15.F4.B42.F4.B$18.5B43.5B$13.3B2.5B38.3B2.5B$7.F3B2.12B30.F3B2.12B$2.

Would you mind if I cross-posted that to the Rules with interesting dynamics thread?

Astounding!

Thanks to all of you, by the way I actually only turned thirteen an hour or so ago lol

EDIT: All of my eighth grade classmates were in absolute shock because of my slight difference in age. Apparently I look like I'm fourteen

This thread is for rules that might not necessarily have engineering potential or other typical desirable aspects of a rule, but have an interesting dynamic or mechanic within them that you find interesting. If possible, describe the dynamic in detail. There's also been some discussion of these over...

Mine is 160P10H2V0, which was discovered in November 2004. Anybody know the exact date?

Mine might be the same, or B29 which was found in September (I was born in October 2004).

I think it'd be pretty nice to have, alongside these forums, a quick and/or 'casual' way of discussing CA and sharing small patterns & trivial speculation and the like.
