A partial color changing reflector. The sacrificial boat here has to be replaced with either a permanent catalyst or a transparent object restored by other catalysts for the reflector to work. This would act as a stable version of a bouncer. If completed, the reflector would have a repeat time ...

For those who may have chosen to go sandless, a while ago I posted an "extroduction" in the Sandbox. It was written in-the-moment and looking back on it I think it is a bit over-the-top but the gist is the same: I will be tamping down my activity on this forum. I have been suffering from a bad case ...

Dear forums,

I have an announcement to make.

CGoL has been there for me through quite a few years of my life (I joined in 2022 but found out about CGoL as early as 2017). It provided a needed escape when things were difficult in my life, but as I've grown I have realized that it has become just ...
