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! I'd say gencols, but giving it a list of literally every single possibl...

This is bugging me: x = 13, y = 8, rule = B3/S23 11bo$12bo$12bo2$2o8b2o$2o7bo2bo$9bobo$10bo! I swear I've seen this before. Wasn't it utilized in one of Guam's spark-to-G converters, or something along those lines? (Good work if you [re?]found it on your own, by the way :D) EDIT: perhaps it was bro...

Aha, I see. "Rectangle only" makes sense now.
[EDIT: not] Class A:

gameoflifeboy reminded me that removing the global menu bar solves most (all?) of the problems with Golly on Ubuntu. See this post for more info: http://www.conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1704&p=41077#p41077 Awesome. I was hesitant to confirm immediately, but this seems to have fixed the...

Class S (class D without B6n transition): x = 7, y = 4, rule = B34jy6n/S2-i3 2b3o$bo3bo$o5bo$b2ob2o! x = 26, y = 25, rule = B34jy6n/S2-i3 2b3o16b3o$bo3bo14bo3bo$o5bo12bo5bo$b2ob2o14b2ob2o18$b2ob2o$o5bo$bo3bo$ 2b3o!

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)

EDIT: brilliant, thank you

x = 48, y = 1, rule = B3/S23 3ob6o3b6o2b6o2b6o3b6ob3o! From this post. Oh! I definitely saw this when you posted it (back when I visited these forums regularly). This time around I had a faint memory of it, but after finding no mention of it on the wiki page – A weaker problem is to find a unidimen...

Following Wojowu's post here , a nontrivial unidimensional pattern that evolves into another. x = 77, y = 1, rule = B3/S23 11ob4o2b4ob3o6b6ob3o2b9ob3ob3o7b5ob3o! [[ STOP 128 ]] I spent about a week searching for this purposefully, by way of near-brute force, after figuring out how to make some VERY ...

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. As I understand it, -del and -test1 all serve to forcefully ignore some desired pattern such that it doesn't interfere with th...

Oh! Of course. Turns out the seed is still useless, though, because the first lasting beehive isn't in the right place for the bookends to eat and keep the shuttle going

useless qb seed (unless an odd-symmetrical beehive eater exists...? a 1d qb shuttle seed may be interesting as a novelty if nothing else) x = 17, y = 1, rule = B3/S23 6ob4o2b4o! leftmost blinker acts as rock, or something. x = 25, y = 1, rule = B3/S23 5o2b3o2b7o3b3o!

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...

@M. I. Wright: I believe you misunderstood the question. Are there any 2-state inner-totalistic rules with still lives, oscillators, and spaceships? Indeed I did (confused inner- and outer-totalistic)... I'm not sure I understand it even now, though. Wouldn't regular Life satisfy the question's con...

let's only do one at a time

Plenty... more than plenty, actually. Just take a look through the Other Cellular Automata forum.
- B3/S2-i34q (my own)
- B3-ckq/S2-c34ci
- B35y/S236c
- nearly everything from page 13 onwards in the non-CGoL accidental discoveries thread

x = 4, y = 4, rule = B3/S23 2obo$4o$2obo$obo! ? I have a truckload of others (from a script that checked 4x4 soups), but this one stood out from the first ten results I looked at since (a) it's exactly 8 generations before the block appears, and (b) the block isn't too far away from the initial bou...

Ohh, I see now, that's... odd. I was using lifeviewer and didn't bother backtracking to see the offshoot that didn't die

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

Aw, it's no fun when you reveal the solution :( here's the full SL if anyone wants to try solving without looking at the one above: x = 381, y = 308, rule = B3/S23 311bo$310bobo$311bo56bo$323b2o42bobo$309b5obo7bo42bobo$306bobo4bob3o6b o40bobo$306b2ob2o2bo4bo4b2o39bobo$309bobob5o2b2o41bobo$309bobo6b3...

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. If you're referring to the date under the topic title, that shows when it was originally posted (the right-hand date/time is that of the most recent post)

hey, is there a ruletable for Petelka?

Dude, there were only 16 posts in this thread before yours. I don't think that that's too much to read through before posting. http://conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=34919#p34919 ...some c/2 spaceships and puffers... x = 45, y = 66, rule = B3-ckq_S2-c34ci 38bobo$17b2ob2o16b3o$19bo2bo19b3o$22bo...

hey guys, i must apologize for my occurs. picstar is not able to run under b3/s23, it only runs only b3/s23-a4ei6. :cry: can someone please tell me the difference between b3/s23 and b3/s23-a4ei6 although I am an unfriendly challenger with bad manners? There is nothing wrong with your manners. In fa...

Can you please copy picstar (or a section of it, since you probably don't want to reveal the full pattern) out of golly, and paste the result into a post here so we can see what rule it is?

Please don't clog up threads like this. There's an edit button in the top-right of all of your posts that you can use to keep everything in a single message.
