I've been playing around with random inputs and found a few automata that can handle some random input.

It can handle two random CENTER cells with the help of a nearby always-on cell. Here's the full python code to load and run this automata: robustBarbell.py.txt

And here's ...

Yes. I even tried changing it to 1000 by 1000, but still nothing.

Here's what works but is really slow:

import golly as g
from glife import rect, validint

g.autoupdate(True)
r = rect( g.getselrect ...

Python makes it possible.
import random, golly as g

g.setrule("Life:P1000000,1000000")
try:
probability = 100/float(g.getstring("Probability (%): "))
except ZeroDivisionError:
g.exit("No cells will be set.")
except ValueError:
g.exit("Invalid percentage.")
while True:
g.step()
g.update ...

Nicky Case's emoji simulator seems to be the perfect tool for the first example:

I need a way to add random noise into the sim every generation, or so. The probability of a pixel getting a "bit flip" should also be controllable.

So for ex: the entire map, a 10% chance that a pixel will flip every generation.

Another ex: the outer 50% edge of the map is noise-free, but as you ...
