New simpler mechanism. Without any resets it's almost the same population as the waterbear. Virtually any improvement will make it the new smallest.


What does this ship look like, and how does it compare to Waterbear?

Hey it looks like the URL no longer exists. I just tested it right now and it returns a 404 error, so it looks like reporting it worked.
That being said, I still have the URLs I mentioned before. They both contain GitHub URLs and the users behind them still exist. Like I said earlier, I can still DM ...

My ISP had issues with the site, so I downloaded it over a VPN. It redirects to a suspicious URL which doesn't even have a homepage (I'm not posting the domain here for obvious reasons, but the path was /2k2pyhygfuju/golly-cellular-automata-simulator.github.io/), and downloads a ~110 MB zip file ...

I stumbled across this on GitHub yesterday. It looks completely AI generated and the download URL seems to be a redirect link, although Google Chrome blocks the URL that the redirect leads to. Here is the GitHub article in question: https://github.com/Golly-Cellular-Automata-Simulator/
Let me know ...

I did it
I finally finished the Cuboid Outpost modpack. I completed every single quest today.

I started my survival world in this modpack on January 12, 2026 and it's 100% complete now.

No

Darn

I could have never imagined that I'd finish it before April started, but this is what happens when you forgo a night of sleep as a result.

I found out about this today. I think it's very cool although I have not tried it myself.

It might be difficult to set up because this project has not been updated in several years.

I know it has been two years since the last post, but this post is worth it.

I thought of an interesting idea for a custom Catagolue symmetry involving Minecraft:
1. Take a seed and isolate a radius of chunks around spawn
2. Treat slime chunks as ON cells and non-slime chunks as OFF cells
3 ...

Two ways to move B-heptomino obliquely using gliders:

x = 337, y = 75, rule = B3/S23

That's the middle fuse from the first RLE.

My bad I didn't notice at first but now I see it.

The last items showed Blinker or Beehive reburner fuses. Here comes a mixed Blinker:Beehive reburner. The puffers are all identical, but the outcome can flawless change between a Blinker Beehive puffer (First 2) and a Traffic light puffer (2), one can say, the ...

-A GUI program that makes caterpillar building easier.
-A program that automatically builds caterpillars.
By caterpillars I mean engineered spaceships that are similar to the spaceships that are self-constructing and self-supporting, like Gemeni, Shieldbug, Camelship, e.t.c.

What do you want to call this new caterpillar?

This is really exciting! This caterpillar is finally finished today! Congrats AbhpzTa! It is much smaller than I anticipated but that's not a big deal. Now the wiki page for the crawlers needs to be updated.

Here's a helix:

An alternative way to build the frontend than just using blocks. I don't know how this can be useful, so I am posting it here just in case.
