I just tried to use a period-46 gun, new gun 1, but it did not work. can someone help me? version with no gun (technically a partial): x = 33, y = 63, rule = B3/S23

I've been doing a lot of OCA soup searching lately and am kinda interested in some of the current records in OCA, mostly with regards to soup searched rules. Was wondering if the OCA experts could share some of these superlatives. For example:

- Largest natural oscillator
- Highest period natural ...

Not sure what to call this exactly (some kind of replicator)... but it produces a skewed Sierpinkski triangle. Very cool to me but I'm sure it's been seen before:

As a casual hobbyist who is interested but not invested, how comprehensive is this? I would love to learn more about constructions, macropatterns, etc.

The book looks amazing btw.

Being a lurker of the forums, one thing I might add is that noobs (not that I exclude myself from such a category) are often shot down, if I'm being honest, quite apathetically, when making posts regarding a "new" pattern/idea, that turns out to be rediscovered. And this is often the case with a ...

quadpole on quadpole synthesis. 11G and 10G. bottom one based on the known quadpole on ship synthesis. The top one can be used to stack quadpoles indefinitely i guess.

Still new to this but thought this rule might be interesting enough for discussion.

Cool! How did you find these? I haven't seen the C/4 or P8 on Catalogue yet.

Sloped puffer in B34kqz5jk6i/S23ajq4ainrtz5cejk. Someone please let me know how to describe the speed of this thing. Tentatively (27,3)c/177?

A minor question about the catalogue site. I've been perusing my hauls and believe I found the first occurrence of (xs28_cc0v1u0o4kozx121074), but it does not show up under my discoveries. What qualifies to appear under there? (I have two xp2's in there ...

I like to create a random big pattern and let it run, its very relaxing.

Back in the 1990s, over a period of years, I would let randomly generated 1024x1024 patterns run on idle machines at home and the office. I agree that seeing that activity can be entertaining, almost hypnotic. I enjoyed ...

Hi, completely new to this. I've been using apgsearch, but just seeing some text saying I found something cool isn't very satisfying, plus it doesn't mention anything about still lifes. Sometimes in Golly I like to create a random big pattern and let it run, its very relaxing. Is there a way I can ...
