Is there a tool that can be used to determine and display the minimum repeat time/best compression of a spaceship - something that outputs 14 for the glider and the LWSS, 16 for the MWSS and 196 for Sir Robin? E.g. neither LifeViewer nor Catagolue provide this information (although I understand thi...

Might be missing something obvious here as I tend to do, but the patterns in this post are showing up as "New Pattern", despite being very much not empty. The rule ( Rule:BBM ) didn't previously exist, but creating it on the wiki did not fix the issue. Even more strangely, the following RLE (taken f...

Not exactly, but the name does appear in Achim's original 1992 census.

How do you apgsearch custom rules? First, copy the rule file into somewhere in the apgmera folder, ideally in /lifelib/rules/source. Then, it can be invoked like so: ./apgluxe --rule 'lifelib/rules/source/KnightGoL.table' .rule, .tree, .table, and .ruel (i.e. Nutshell) files are all supported. Some...

Yeah, so, um, long story short, I used to have an account under the username, “Timelord Missionary,” but I forgot the password to it, so I set up another account using my real name as my user name... so yes.

Done!

May I please get a “trusted” flag? I’ve been playing around with the game of life for some time, and I could tell you more, but there’s an inaccuracy in the page 30.P3 that I’ve just been itching to correct. If you’d like to know, I specialize in the motifs of low-period oscillators. What's your us...

May I please have edit access? I want to be able to contribute to the wiki, mostly by fixing small spell checks, and hopefully a pattern here and there.

Long tail component reduced from 5G to 4G by Carson Cheng; crossposted from Discord:

I don't know when it was submitted to Catagolue. How do you obtain the date of submission? This is a two-step process: Check the backups of the synthesis-costs census, which are made on the 5th, 15th, and 25th of each month. In this case, the May 15th backup shows xs18_69bo3qic costing 5 gliders: "...

What is the difference between a Garden of Eden and a orphan?

If I understand correctly, an orphan is the set of cells required to be either on or off for a pattern to have the property of being a Garden of Eden, and it can therefore be extended in any way past that and still be a GoE.

2) For position on Achim's census, how did they check those below 50 in 2009? This page only lists the top 50 or so.

Here is the full list.

FYI, there's already a nominee collection thread that was started at the beginning of 2021. I don't really have anything else I want to nominate that wasn't already listed there.

In 2011, Nathaniel deleted 48P22 , a page created by Sokwe sometime ago. But in 2016, Apple Bottom created a 48P22.1 page. I would like to have the deleted page be restored to see if they are the same oscillator. Unfortunately, the undeletion page doesn't show any history for 48P22, other than the ...
