B2e3-a/S12-i3-a7 is a rule that has many promising attributes. To start, here is the main stunning feature, a (7,6)c/58 puffer, that produces 1 domino every 2 cycles: x = 3, y = 4, rule = B2e3-a/S12-i3-a7 o$o$obo$bo! That isn't the only knightpuffer, there's this one, which produces a period 4 oscil...

It copies weird stuff to my clipboard:

Can a RRO be built in CGOL by crashing LWSSes into some small, cheap slow orthogonal spaceship like the loafer? What I'm thinking is that two copies of a recipe that creates and destroys a loafer gun by hitting the back of a loafer are placed, and some sort of copy machine takes in the second copy a...

it has a maximum multiplicity of 5x, surpassing drc's former record! Hmm, while this is interesting, how can it be truly a 5x RRO if the period isn't divisible by 5? There is the additional constraint that two non-interacting copies of the pattern could be combined into an oscillator with a period ...

Is it known what the nonomino predecessor of the switch engine that it was first found by is? Because I seem to have refound it:

B2e3-a/S12-i3-a7 is slow to search (should take around an hour to search 10000 soups, if my estimates are correct), yet interesting. It has two (6,7)c/58 puffers, the first one being more common: x = 4, y = 3, rule = B2e3-a/S12-i3-a7 3o$3bo$2bo! x = 12, y = 4, rule = B2e3-a/S12-i3-a7 8b3o$11bo$o9bo$...

NOTE: A lot of the work below was done over the discord chat, which you can find here B2ci3aejn/S2-c3-enr4-ait is a rule first investigated by M. I. Wright and further explored by me and dvgrn. It was originally posted with a period 58 oscillator: x = 32, y = 7, rule = B2ci3aejn/S2-c3-enr4-ait 5bo13...

Post your ideas for CA things.

- A site that you put a pattern into and it checks several databases via a script of some sort, and sees if it finds an object, if it doesn't it reports 'may be new', if it does it tells you where it found said object.

I noticed the [1] button in the top-left corner of golly doesn't work. I'm on Windows 7, 64-bit, version 3.0b3

B2-p/S2-m5 is sufficiently interesting. It has this cool p19 failed replicator that turns into two puffers: x = 4, y = 3, rule = B2-p_S2-m5 o$2bo$2b2o!
