Re: Thread for basic questions
Dumb questions regarding searching: How are reactions like the following, used in 31c/240 tech, found? x = 15, y = 21, rule = B3/S23 2o$b2o$o2$12b3o$11bo2bo$14bo$10bo3bo$10bo3bo$14bo$11bobo4$6bo$5b3o$5bo b2o$6b3o$6b3o$6b3o$6b2o!

Hi! Can the last paragraph of One cell thick pattern#Spaceships_and_oscillators be updated to reflect the existence of toroidalet's discovery from last year? (And perhaps mine+Wojowu's, if deemed notable enough)

Minor necro, apologies, but I'm quite confused about the meaning of "Also match the phase of this pattern with pattern 2" in the Arguments.Explanation description of -test2.

This latest Ubuntu update seems to have broken compatibility with a lot of things, including Blender (unusable due to what seems like a weird double-buffering glitch), scratch.mit.edu (the site crashes upon trying to load any projects in Firefox; not a huge loss, admittedly, but still), and now appa...

Not a puffer, unfortunately. Dies out around gen 6320 and its debris never actually repeats, although there's probably a way to stabilize it.
