QuadLife VS (Game)

[Blobster2024]

Hey! Blobster2024 here. Here, you'll choose one of the four colors in this QuadLife simulation and try to defend your team's Beacon while attacking the other teams. Here's how it begins:

Code: Select all

$7.C24.D!

The turn order goes: Red, Green, Blue, and finally Yellow.

You must only use spaceships and still lifes, with the color of your team.

And above the pattern, you must place something like this: "47:47:47:47."

Current Status:

Red (47): Blobster2024
Green (47):
Blue (47):
Yellow (47):

I'll start.

More optimal than eating the escaping glider is to pi it for maximal population.

Do we have to reconstruct our beacons down the line?

While I'm not actually playing, I would think that a placement is invalid if the spaceship can't come from infinity.

[azulavoir]

While I'm not actually playing, I would think that a placement is invalid if the spaceship can't come from infinity.

I've interpreted it, akin to a PvP minigame in something like Minecraft, as that the spaceship has to be able to originate from your color of cells.

(Also, I’m also proposing that you have to destroy all of a certain color, instead of just the beacon.)

I’m proposing this as a new starting position:

Code: Select all

x = 55, y = 55, rule = EV2QuadColor
