A few years ago I dreamt about a p11 oscillator oscillating ... and I forgot all about it. Then a few months ago, I independently rediscovered that oscillator, and that's when I remembered my dream.

Is it possible that you didn’t remember said dream P11 and when you found that P11 domino ...

A few years ago I dreamt about a p11 oscillator oscillating (not in golly). The camera was showing it off, slowly moving in some direction then cutting to a different perspective and moving in a different direction, then doing it again from different angles. Then I woke up. And I remember that when ...

I just noticed that the attribution for my P24 traffic light-phi shuttle in the Period-24 traffic light hasslers page is incorrect. The shuttle was my discovery, but the page credits someone else. Could someone please check the linked forum post and correct the attribution? I’d appreciate it!

I just made a collection of p13 sparkers and other useful p13s! Some aren't technically sparkers, but I thought they were worth including since they can be useful in p13 oscillator construction.

What about making every letter out of oscillators with period that is the position of the letter in the alphabet

The font needs to be quite large because S is the 19th letter, and the only known p19 oscillators: Cribbage and Goban don't look like an s. Here is my attempt of a p19 s:

I found a glitch in a Conway's Game Of Life app where when you tap an oscillating cell while it's running, it turns into a glitched cell:

which adds an invisible cell on top of that cell, but it doesn't affect it. I was able to recreate it in a Cellular Automata Builder using ...

You can open .lif files directly in Golly.
