It's probably been documented somewhere, but I couldn't find any sample soups with it or anything on the wiki.

B37e8/S237c

This rule has a very common B-puffer:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 3, rule = B37e8/S237c
ob2o$3o$bo!
TO DO:
Apgsearch this rule
Find a high-period oscillator (DONE)
Find a breeder (DONE)
Find a spaceship other than LWSS and glider (DONE)
Corderize the B-puffer (DONE)
