I ran that through oscar overnight, and it got to over 8 million generations and still ticking. I stopped it there. I noticed, when I began to run it, it had many more linear patterns, but as it matured, there were more diamond-y patterns. I hate to say it, but I ran this pattern without the oscilla...

grr
I need a rule with a better max speed.

I'll try to find a track of some kind.

That is possibly the most entertaining glider reflector I've ever came across. Buckaroos' are amazing, aren't they?

All right, I noticed there are several things that trigger other things in life (duh), but I wanted to see what kind of things can trigger other things and how. I want to see who can make the most diverse, biggest cleverest, fun-est, Rube goldberg style device. So here's how it'll all come together....

I found this little pattern messing around, and If I could only stabilize the edges, It would make something I believe to be the first of its kind. x = 370, y = 30, rule = B3/S23 370o$370o$370o2$4b2o7b2o7b2o7b2o7b2o7b2o7b2o7b2o7b2o7b2o7b2o7b2o7b2o7b 2o7b2o7b2o7b2o7b2o7b2o7b2o7b2o7b2o7b2o7b2o7b2o7b2o...

It's possible to make GIANT oscillators with this rule, by making a line with a length that is a power of 2(greater than 2) and a thickness of 2. Check it: p2 (4) x = 2, y = 4, rule = B3678/S1258 2o$2o$2o$2o! p6 (8) x = 2, y = 8, rule = B3678/S1258 2o$2o$2o$2o$2o$2o$2o$2o! p14 (16) x = 2, y = 16, ru...

Geez, do I need to be any more specific?
On windows, and while listening to music, the unnecessary beeping that golly does is very annoying.
Is there really a need for denial that this happens, or suggestions that I probably would've done already unless I was stupid?
Thanks.

One little thing I'd love, is for Golly to SHUT UP . I'm so tired of it beeping every time I zoom in and can't go further, even though I know I couldn't of and didn't intend to. Or when I click the screen when it is zoomed out too much to draw. Really, I don't mind being told that I can't zoom in fu...

Ever just want to take a little break from math, science, and programming just to try some stuff and see what happens? I'd bet you do. And probably find some really cool, useless, junk. I know the feeling, really. Here's a little oasis for you to post those. Here's one: (And whatever that symbol may...

As far as I know, B2 is an overpowering rule that really is crazy enough already without adding to it.

here's a useless little thing I found that might be able to be made into an oscillator somehow, but I have no idea. Anyway, if you put a block in the middle of a fleet, it flips it. x = 10, y = 10, rule = B3/S23 4b2o$3bobo$3b2o$b2o$obob2o2b2o$2o2b2obobo$7b2o$5b2o$4bobo$4b2o! Dunno, it's fun to do.

I have finally formulated a way to make wireworld much more compact, and I call it (un-creatively), "double wireworld". It's as simple as having a second type of wire, and an "always on" cell. I made my first rule table creating it, too, and I think I did a pretty good job on it. Heresha go. #double...
