== Natural objects ==
 
Seven days ago, I saw a block and dock, an aircraft carrier, and a tub with tail(but not the eater). Another day, I saw a natural eater 1 so far away from the soup that it was probably a glider collision(can't say for sure). Today I saw a rare still life(x = 5, y = 9, rule = B3/S23
3bo$b3o$o$b3o$4bo$b3o$o$b3o$3bo!
(RLE) (Twin hat)). What have you seen? wwei23 1:49PM 9/27/2015

Looks like you've been away for a while, and just got added to the trusted list again this morning.  Welcome back!
Looks like you've ðŸ…ąeen away for a while, and just got added to the trusted list again this morning.  Welcome ðŸ…ąack!


Some of your contributions from today are going to make more work for other maintainers of the LifeWiki.  The "It can also eat a glider" addition to the HWSS page is an example.  The LifeWiki mostly doesn't have RLE-encoded patterns on the article pages, though they may perfectly well show up on the talk pages or in a "raw RLE" subsidiary page.  If you add an actual image of the pattern in question, people reading the article can see what you're talking about instantly without having to copy/past RLE into some other program.

I ended up proposing deletion for your "eater loop" article -- that object already has a name ("shuriken") that's been in use for a long time.  Try pasting the RLE into [http://conwaylife.com/ref/mniemiec/lifesrch.htm Mark Niemiec's search page] to find it.

Also the RLE and hard-to-interpret ASCII image really don't match the fairly standard format that has evolved for other still-life pages.  Probably better to start with '''Template:Stilllife''' if you want to create a new article about a still life.

It can be hard to resist the temptation to call things by names that you've just made up.  But no matter how good the name is, if no one else has ever used it, it's just plain not going to be notable and is likely to get deleted. It might belong on the LifeWiki after a couple of years, if you successfully get lots of other people using the name on the forums or somewhere like that.

:::: Maybe copy from a page like [[block]] for now.  We're in the middle of figuring out the details of how best to use LifeViewer to display files, e.g., [[very^9 long boat]].  But that makes a lot more sense for oscillators and spaceships than for still lifes, which really might as well be static images... at least until we can conveniently copy patterns out via LifeViewer.

:::: Apologies for the rather confused state of the LifeWiki, as far as adding new pattern pages.  It would be nice to get everything somewhere close to a standard form, but obviously there's still a lot of work to do.  Please feel free to try things out on [[Shuriken]]; whatever you still find confusing, you could maybe describe it here?We can try to get the process streamlined and documented better so it's easier for the next person.

An n-still life is a still life where all cells have n live neighbors. The question is that in Life, why do no 2-still lifes exist(as far as I know) with 9 to 19 cells? -wwei23 8:29PM 6/13/2017 NY time

Check it out. Here, it's a P840. -wwei23 6:20PM 3/11/2018 NY time
Just to let you know -- it does not seem likely that anyone will look at patterns you post here, if you damage your RLE-format patterns by replacing the b's with Unicode characters.  The point of RLE is that it's easy to copy and paste into Golly.
Also, the characters you're using for ON and OFF cells don't render well in some browsers -- many people will end up with strange overlaps and won't be able to see the pattern clearly.  The old standard ASCII characters really work much better, partly because you can copy and paste them directly into Golly.

:EV, the <nowiki>{{unsigned}}</nowiki> template is only meant to be used to sign ''other people's'' talk page messages, not your own. For that you just need to do the tildes: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>

ðŸ…ą3/S2 soup search result tabulations

Take a look, I dare you! http://www.conwaylife.com/wiki/User:Wwei23/B3/S2_search_results -wwei23 8:53 PM 7/5/2018 NY time

Did you know...

...that the day I learned aðŸ…ąout Life I was experimenting like crazy and saw a natural ðŸ…ąeehive and dock? -wwei23 5:40PM 9/20/2015 NY time

Hive series

Hive and mango are staðŸ…ąle. Third evolves into a paper clip. Tenth evolves for 2249 generations (creates a pair of MWSSs at 648, then proceeds to crash them into ðŸ…ąlocks), and twenty-first evolves for 2668 generations.-wwei23 5:59PM 9/20/2015 NY time

A new wave of LifeWiki editing

Looks like you've ðŸ…ąeen away for a while, and just got added to the trusted list again this morning. Welcome ðŸ…ąack!

Some of your contriðŸ…ąutions from today are going to make more work for other maintainers of the LifeWiki. The "It can also eat a glider" addition to the HWSS page is an example. The LifeWiki mostly doesn't have RLE-encoded patterns on the article pages, though they may perfectly well show up on the talk pages or in a "raw RLE" suðŸ…ąsidiary page. If you add an actual image of the pattern in question, people reading the article can see what you're talking aðŸ…ąout instantly without having to copy/paste RLE into some other program.

I ended up proposing deletion for your "eater loop" article -- that oðŸ…ąject already has a name ("shuriken") that's ðŸ…ąeen in use for a long time. Try pasting the RLE into Mark Niemiec's search page to find it.

Also the RLE and hard-to-interpret ASCII image really don't match the fairly standard format that has evolved for other still-life pages. ProðŸ…ąaðŸ…ąly ðŸ…ąetter to start with Template:Stilllife if you want to create a new article aðŸ…ąout a still life.

It can ðŸ…ąe hard to resist the temptation to call things ðŸ…ąy names that you've just made up. ðŸ…ąut no matter how good the name is, if no one else has ever used it, it's just plain not going to ðŸ…ąe notaðŸ…ąle and is likely to get deleted. It might ðŸ…ąelong on the LifeWiki after a couple of years, if you successfully get lots of other people using the name on the forums or somewhere like that.

  1. 1: This is unsigned.
  2. 2: I don't know how to use the template. And I don't know how to upload. If I did, it would ðŸ…ąe the same as another page. -wwei23 11:38 AM 5/29/2017 NY time
  3. 3: I searched up "shuriken," and it said the page doesn't exist. -wwei23 11:40 AM 5/29/2017 NY time
Not sure how I managed to leave off the four tildes -- sorry aðŸ…ąout that.
You can copy the InfoðŸ…ąox part of the text of another page aðŸ…ąout a standard still life, go to the shuriken page (which now exists thanks to the rename) and paste in the text there, replacing the name, pname, and other statistical details. For details aðŸ…ąout the pname and other parameters, see this style-guide page -- LifeWiki:Style_guide/Pattern_layout.
MayðŸ…ąe copy from a page like ðŸ…ąlock for now. We're in the middle of figuring out the details of how ðŸ…ąest to use LifeViewer to display files, e.g., very^9 long ðŸ…ąoat. ðŸ…ąut that makes a lot more sense for oscillators and spaceships than for still lifes, which really might as well ðŸ…ąe static images... at least until we can conveniently copy patterns out via LifeViewer.
(So mayðŸ…ąe it is a good idea to use LifeViewer for all patterns, including still lifes, to make it easy to add future copy or edit functionality -- along the lines of your recent note on the Tiki ðŸ…ąar. I'll start a new section on the Tiki ðŸ…ąar aðŸ…ąout that when I have some time.) Dvgrn (talk) 16:00, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
Images can ðŸ…ąe uploaded ðŸ…ąy clicking the red link in the infoðŸ…ąox, once you have the "Stilllife..." section in at the top of the article.
Apologies for the rather confused state of the LifeWiki, as far as adding new pattern pages. It would ðŸ…ąe nice to get everything somewhere close to a standard form, ðŸ…ąut oðŸ…ąviously there's still a lot of work to do. Please feel free to try things out on Shuriken; whatever you still find confusing, you could mayðŸ…ąe descriðŸ…ąe it here?We can try to get the process streamlined and documented ðŸ…ąetter so it's easier for the next person.
There's a list of wanted pages at the ðŸ…ąottom of this page -- the red links, if you get really amðŸ…ąitious (ðŸ…ąut there might ðŸ…ąe some disagreement as to whether we even really want all of those definitions)...! Dvgrn (talk) 15:35, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
I found that none of the pattern files work anymore, try pasting one into Golly! The old format worked. -wwei23 4:11PM 5/30/2017 NY time
That seems a ðŸ…ąit unlikely -- Golly hasn't changed recently. Please ðŸ…ąe more specific. Where are you getting your pattern file text from, exactly?
Just ðŸ…ąy the way, I had already created an RLE:Shuriken page. You can check the "Recent changes" link on the main page to see what's going on that you might ðŸ…ąe interested in.
"RLE:pname" the standard form -- the LifeViewer won't know to look for "Shuriken RLE", so that page can ðŸ…ąe deleted. Yes, as it says in the Tiki ðŸ…ąar, this is all still kind of new experimental stuff, and not at all well documented yet...! Dvgrn (talk) 21:02, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
2.7. If I try to paste a pattern file in, I get an empty ðŸ…ąounding ðŸ…ąox. -wwei23 5:39PM 5/30/2017 NY time
Again, please ðŸ…ąe more specific. For example: in 32-ðŸ…ąit Golly 2.8 for Windows, I hit Ctrl+Shift+O with the following text on my clipðŸ…ąoard:
x = 15, y = 15, rule = ðŸ…ą3/S23
7ðŸ…ąo$5ðŸ…ą5o$4ðŸ…ąo5ðŸ…ąo$4ðŸ…ą7o$7ðŸ…ąo$4ðŸ…ą2o3ðŸ…ą2o$3ðŸ…ąo2ðŸ…ą3o2ðŸ…ąo$3ðŸ…ą2o5ðŸ…ą2o$5ðŸ…ą5o$ðŸ…ą3o7ðŸ…ą3o$o2ðŸ…ą
9o2ðŸ…ąo$2o11ðŸ…ą2o$5ðŸ…ą5o$4ðŸ…ąo2ðŸ…ąo2ðŸ…ąo$4ðŸ…ą2o3ðŸ…ą2o!
(one of your random patterns from ðŸ…ąelow) ...and it works fine. It doesn't work so well if you also copy the line aðŸ…ąove it, ðŸ…ąecause that line doesn't start with a #C, so it confuses the parser. Exactly what text are you trying to paste in, to what version of Golly? Dvgrn (talk) 21:47, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
I am trying to paste the Shuriken RLE into 32-ðŸ…ąit Golly 2.7, ðŸ…ąut it won't work. -wwei23 6:08 PM 5/30/2017 NY time
http://www.conwaylife.com/patterns/shuriken.rle -wwei23 6:10PM 5/30/2017 NY time
It works if you remove the space after the rule.
x = 11, y = 11, rule = ðŸ…ą3/S23 
4ðŸ…ą3o4ðŸ…ą2$2ðŸ…ąoðŸ…ąoðŸ…ąoðŸ…ąo2ðŸ…ą2$oðŸ…ąo5ðŸ…ąoðŸ…ąo$o9ðŸ…ąo$oðŸ…ąo5ðŸ…ąoðŸ…ąo2$2ðŸ…ąoðŸ…ąoðŸ…ąoðŸ…ąo2ðŸ…ą2$4ðŸ…ą3o!
This does not work. Note the space after "ðŸ…ą3/S23."
x = 11, y = 11, rule = ðŸ…ą3/S23
4ðŸ…ą3o4ðŸ…ą2$2ðŸ…ąoðŸ…ąoðŸ…ąoðŸ…ąo2ðŸ…ą2$oðŸ…ąo5ðŸ…ąoðŸ…ąo$o9ðŸ…ąo$oðŸ…ąo5ðŸ…ąoðŸ…ąo2$2ðŸ…ąoðŸ…ąoðŸ…ąoðŸ…ąo2ðŸ…ą2$4ðŸ…ą3o!
This works. There is no space here.

And this space is all that's needed to confuse Golly! -wwei23 6:26 PM 5/30/2017 NY time

Oddly enough, on 32-ðŸ…ąit Golly on Windows 10, ðŸ…ąoth versions produce exactly the same working oscillator for me.
A space ðŸ…ąefore the "x" is known to cause proðŸ…ąlems, ðŸ…ąut I've never heard of a proðŸ…ąlem with trailing spaces. I don't see how to duplicate the issue with the two RLE snippets aðŸ…ąove. What OS and ðŸ…ąrowser are you using? Dvgrn (talk) 00:06, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
I use Windows 10, and Microsoft Edge. -wwei23 8:25PM 5/31/2017 NY time

As you might notice, It is four siamesed hats to make a loop, and is closely related to the small lake, just remove the four middle cells! -wwei23 11:47AM 5/29/2017 NY time

You're really close, actually -- 24.1937769; Four siamese hats is what comes up in Mark Niemiec's dataðŸ…ąase.
Again, you can do these searches yourself from the search page -- ðŸ…ąut please ðŸ…ąe warned, the dataðŸ…ąase isn't infinite in size. It tends to stop returning results at just aðŸ…ąout this size of oðŸ…ąject. Dvgrn (talk) 15:47, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

2-still lifes

An n-still life is a still life where all cells have n live neighðŸ…ąors. The question is that in Life, why do no 2-still lifes exist(as far as I know) with 9 to 19 cells? -wwei23 8:29PM 6/13/2017 NY time

Just to let you know -- it does not seem likely that anyone will look at patterns you post here, if you damage your RLE-format patterns by replacing the b's with Unicode characters. The point of RLE is that it's easy to copy and paste into Golly.

Also, the characters you're using for ON and OFF cells don't render well in some browsers -- many people will end up with strange overlaps and won't be able to see the pattern clearly. The old standard ASCII characters really work much better, partly because you can copy and paste them directly into Golly.

You can type { {userarticle} } (without the spaces) at the start, and it will look like this:

EV, the {{unsigned}} template is only meant to be used to sign other people's talk page messages, not your own. For that you just need to do the tildes: ~~~~
Oh and also, please make sure you use the "New topic" button rather than the "Edit" button when you want to add a message that isn't going to part of an already existing topic. Ian07 (talk) 22:25, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
Are you talking to me, or EV? Wwei23 (talk) 15:45, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
I'm talking to EV, you're okay. Ian07 (talk) 15:54, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
