Alternating rules

[eRroR_6o6]

More than 2 alternating rules joined the chat/game

I call these types of rules "cycling rules", but you can call them whatever you want

B3/S234/B3/S024/B3/S023

Stuff (haven't found any interesting oscillators yet, but have some spaceships)

Preloaf (somewhat fast at c/3)

And a fake glider which, due to the definition of gliding, is still technically a glider

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 11, rule = b3/s234/b3/s024/b3/s023

Gliders rephase themselves into 1 relative phase, and there's a natural p6 thumb:

Why use a code tag simply to put the rulestring in? At least include some objects.

x = 64, y = 64, rule = B23/S|B/S23

This common spaceship pulls a spaceship-like spark, which was regenerated when destroyed:

Code: Select all

x = 30, y = 79, rule = B23/S|B/S23

EDIT:
This rule is so well-behaved that I want to include it into my rules collection:
