I'd see a mod to eat this topic.

Stop freaking this way! :evil: Soon gonna report you... after all what do i have to "listen" if no one has anything to say (I run out in patience)? Wow, he is going to report codeholic? Sorry, cod', but you'll have to kick yourself! :o More seriously... I like the fact we put tips, tricks and thing...

What exactly did that mean? Well anyway I found out I need an MWSS rake... no matter front or back... He meant that -let's be honest-, for the moment you made exactly zero interesting discovery, and that you aren't trying to listen to the various tips I and him (and others) are giving you. A bon en...

Found out the speed carried by pistons e.g. when a glider hits them is an absolute bloody ~2c which means, with Godel code programmed to give an output based in the time needed for an glider to hit the pistons to give one glider tape it could be an absolute huge advantage over other tapes, more not...

How about "Gustavo Ramos-esques discoveries"?
I had planned to create this topic on 01/04 for april fools before realizing it already exists.

Meet Rockefeller! EDIT: Found another billiard table: And another: Stable swastika: Both your billard table are known (and in fact, were the first if not one of the first billard tables. A careful inspection of "rockfeller" would allow you to see that these are 1 big still life and 1 big oscillator...

codeholic wrote:Gustavo, this thread is for useless discoveries. Your patterns do not fall into this category, therefore please post them in the special thread you've started.

THIS sentence is beautiful.
We should definitely start a thread for "Less than useless discoveries"

Forget, let me delete ALL the groups, file & page I had to create... no, I'm way too lazy :P I need now some way to turn a glider into two. This pattern is in golly. Meet the heisenburp. x = 139, y = 157, rule = B3/S23 48b2o$47bobo$46b3o$46b2o$46b2o$47bobo$48bo3$45b2o3b2o$45b2o3b2o2$47b3o $47b3o$48...

That's NOT a criteria to define an oscillator.

Gustavo6046 wrote:Guess what? One period 180 oscillator I made involving snarks and guns have been marked as "utterly useless" and "actually three oscillators"!

That's not glorious considering it is composed of:
2 utterly useless oscillators
1 already-known oscillator...

As a feat, I decided to separate every oscillators in the second pattern you posted. And there are no less than six of them: x = 736, y = 475, rule = B3/S23 442b2o135b2o$441bobo135b2o$427bo12b3o4b2ob3o$427b4o8b3o4bo2b4o$417b2o 9b4o8b3o4b2o$417b2o9bo2bo9bobo133b2o$422bo5b4o10b2o$422bo4b4o8bo$427bo 12...

I must say it was easy, though I originally tried to do a MWSS gun -- and this don't make me stop begging for help with my gun. Also, c'mon, not in the early 1970s it would be found -- if it isn't notable, then why isn't its LifeWIki page marked for rapid deletion? Also, if it is so common and easy...

Great! Great! Now I can name my rakes, guns and spaceships accordingly! (wait, my GUN, it is ONE gun, also it only names spaceships, though one of them is only called "the Demon Eye"...) The fact you can name them the standard way don't make them more interesting. Nowadays, the only interesting c/2...

Better would be to reflect a glider with a p30, p16 or p32 (guns I made). :) Also I found a salvo that "bounces" a glider. I called the reflected glider "Rambo" because it seems to kill every other glider and then flee from scenery. XD x = 89, y = 74, rule = B3/S23 o$b2o$2o4$12bo$13bo$11b3o32$51bo4...

make sure you have python, if not it will not work. Then I think I will have to use web utilities. If only Apache supported Python... or Python supported applets... I think a Chrome extension Python Applet Loader could be used :P But anyway, I think a utility like Summers' Oscillizer could be more ...

I though barge was a spaceship. Heh. Actually I think it should be renamed to "floating barge" or so. Also which letters are used to store discoverer, discover year, no. of cells, etc.? In a detailed table, if we can do any in the forums? OR better, in one or more lists? I don't know for still life...

Right now I'm quite trying to mess with Nivasch's catalyst, but - seriously - how do I run those CPPs? Opening them as pattern just does make #C [[ THUMBNAIL THEME 6 ]] #C Weird, spiky pattern generated by opening Gabriel Nivasch's catalyst.cpp as a pattern. x = 81, y = 964, rule = B3/S23 2ob8ob2ob...

I LOVE this sentence. It makes so much sense...

I FOUND VELCROREX' SPACESHIP

It may be my bad, anyway, I had a loafer that went haywire a few days ago, thanks to find it!

We can glider synthesize an eater 1, right??? Now it reacting with a glider, y know what produce? An eating reaction... Collisions of gliders with still lifes, much like 2G collisions, are well known, Gustavo... Nope! I actually misnamed the eater 5, and 2 gliders hitting result in a puffer 1! The ...

Stop lying. There's no way sparky could come up naturally. Supposing I am REALLY gentle and say it emerges from 50 cells, it is 5 times bigger than the switch engine, an already very, very rare pattern. I did a calculatin and found that given a random pattern in a soup, the chance it is a hypotetic...

People are being terribly impolite on this thread. Shouldn't we instead be grateful that these patterns are all being posted in the same thread, rather than in separate threads? That's rather fortunate, indeed, if not I'd have bashed my head in the wall so strong I'd have liquefied my brain. I'm cu...
