I still insist that "1D spaceship" is a better name that long unpronounceable "unidimensional"

I also don't see the "Special Pages" button on 74P127

I tried capturing with wayback machine.(https://web.archive.org/web/20260830170310/https://conwaylife.com/wiki/74P127)
css is all broken (at least for me right now, could be ddos problem on WM), but I think the button isn't there in the capture

I hope someone updates/expands lifewiki news article as well

It's finished, see the other thread

what other thread?

I'm asking about what drgvn asked for, with -21k cells and stuff

any progress on the stentor?

ahhh

of course, p3 interacting with p2 means p6

brainfart, spent too much time thinking about phoenix disproof right before posting

should have noticed this part

p4 requires a slightly different setup (p2 start and different force of strict p4 in the critical tile)

https://conwaylife.com/wiki/OCA:Vote says "It is unknown if oscillators with higher periods [than 2] exist."

maybe possible to do some small search to rule out period 3 or smth?


Even on just my laptop, it takes LLSSS under a second to show no p3 oscillators. The setup focuses on a ...

I don't understand you, sorry.

this is a forum

forum consists of threads that consist of messages

if you want to display latest message in subset of threads, you'd logically display the thread it is contained in - instead some arbitrary string that's been attached to the message is shown

Sometimes, a post may belong better in another thread and/or a topic is no longer needed.

well yeah?

and that's why the thread that the message is in should be displayed, not the subject arbitrary string

It do copy the subject

...why? how is that any useful?

this is forum, thread is what's important

while I'm totally against "dividing numerator and denominator" even by gcd (since denominator is also used to show period), this kinda makes me wonder if there's a better notation to make slope more visible?

(5,1)*512/16849793

well, if your ultimate goal is unattainable yet, what if you limit the width?

what about limiting only to "forward connectivity"? as in, without covering U shapes, where separate pieces "eventually connect" down the line?

is it possible to restrict search to polyominos?

current Wiki's featured article is polyomino, so I wonder how much can be said about oscillators/spaceships of this type

Success! Back to looking the way it used to!

I confirm, left navigation menu is back and looks good. Thank you!

(I was so scared that design would've followed/been forced to follow the wikipedia's bad decisions)

I mixed up right and left :/
You had a vertical bar on the left side with main links, "what links here", etc - now it's gone

I guess it's part of updating to ugly "modern" wiki : (

any chance of returning it back?

Did lifewiki just break?

The page looks messed up, bar on the right side is gone

Is there a way to ctrl+v a screenshot?

Or is the only way to save locally and use file upload?

I wanted to report bogus notification , but now that I think about it it's probably some admin secret thread leak

current "Did you know" list on lifewiki frontpage has "no pure c/12 diagonal technology is known" item

how much can be explored at such a long period?
