[calcyman]

Incredible! It's a pity that the stability rules of Life prevent any useful Wireworld computations; Wireworld computations require tetravalent cells, which are unstable in Life.

The puffer train is quite eye-opening, though:

x = 5, y = 18, rule = lifewire

[iconmaster]

Wow! You could make circuits like WireWorld, and have them grow and change as it runs!

[Axaj]

Hmm, I was hoping my life-to-wire rule would cause more buzz than this. This is indeed more cool, but just a gimmick, as there's really nothing you can do with the signal.

Hmm, I was hoping my life-to-wire rule would cause more buzz than this. This is indeed more cool, but just a gimmick, as there's really nothing you can do with the signal.

Solution: Add extra states!
State 4: WW Head
State 5: WW Tail
State 6: WW Conductor
State 7: WW -> Charged Pi
Rule table coming soon!
EDIT: It's here, but I have difficulty making anything conduct to Wireworld (6) cells.
