i can't access this site anymore under normal circumstances because of the cloudflare captcha that is forced on every visitor

just today i charged my chromebook and loaded up "https://conwaylife.com" and i got stuck on a "Performing security verification" screen. due to my internet filtering, it is impossible to get past as the cloudflare challenge never loads. i posted this here by using another device that didn't have ...

When cells are propagating force information one cell per "microtick" (as you described), eventually, the force of every cell in the universe would be determined, and the cells would update state in a full tick. I might be wrong, but I don't think there's a way of knowing how many ...

if you're into CA, you WILL come back to conwaylife.com eventually, whether you want to or not. i came back around a year after i had an "argument" because i found real life so boring without any fake Life to play.

this pattern uses the "star gate" to drag an LWSS an entire length of a "star gate" forward ahead of a normal LWSS.

so i don't know the full extent of the situation but from what i can gather, NNlk05 has told B468S02357 to get off of discord, because B468S02357's age on the forums is ...

i downloaded the repository and attempted to use it on my device. i got stuck on the epilepsy warning screen as the button wasn't working, so i manually edited the epilepsy screen out, and the buttons still didn't work.

what? are you ok? please don't hurt yourself :(

i've invented a new rulespace known as hash random emergence. each cell looks at its own color and the rule, and it decides whether or not to spawn 1 or 2 cells around it, where they are, and what color they are, and ...

oh dear. it's throwing errors already

my post about grid-blind L-systems is completely gone, that picture is of a pattern from it.

here's the repository, i don't feel like rewriting the entire post again: https://github.com/tommyaweosme/hash-random ...

check out these brand new rulespaces i found! they are grid-blind L-systems, i think.

also, the entire joke was that if you had done this thing that has less then a 0.00000001% chance of happening, i would give you an absurdly low amount of money in comparison to the feat.

every million years, slam your hand on a table one million times. if each time, your hand completely tunnels through, remove one atom from the universe. once the entire universe is gone, build it back together [/b] and flip a coin one million times. if every time you got heads, increment a ...

6) Step 5 is repeated for every number that converges to 1 under the Collatz conjecture in a row
7) Step 6 is repeated for every even perfect number in a row

these two steps make it's possibility based on unknown mathematical statements. you can only get past IF:

i have a brilliant new game! i call it, "life". it is simple: there is an infinite square grid, and cells can be "on" or "off". if an "on" cell is surrounded by 2 or 3 "on" neighbors, it stays "on" in the next generation. otherwise, it turns "off". an "off" cell turns "on" if it is surrounded by 3 ...

This lead looks promising, but I haven’t been able to find anything that extends past the point I circled in red.

sorry if i'm not in the loop, what exactly is meant to be shown in the picture? all i see is red and blue circles with arbitrary boxes placed around them, and scrolling up i don't ...

i don't know if this has already been discovered, but this rule has really high oscillator periods from soup (227 thousand from this soup) and is reversible.

One cell is one energy point and vice versa.
What can you do to get the most energy per generation?
My solution for B3i6i/S:

x = 10, y = 1, rule = B3i6i/S
10o!

6 energy/gen.

A slightly interesting BeefyLife:

Code: Select all

#R 27/63
!

it is slightly interesting because it is 100% less explosive and only makes blinkers? also, you used the BFDI number (2763) in your post

resulting pattern must be interesting


Adding a cell in the far west:
x = 22, y = 22, rule = B34rz6i/S2-n36c
21bo16$b2o2$2b2obo$b3obo2$o2bo!

your post breaks the rules as it does not add any new content to the table. we will rewind to this point, and i will allow you to post again within ...

and then it went forward again (+1 cell at 5,-2)

this rule has almost certainly been found on many expeditions through OCA, but you may be the first to bring special attention to it.
