i have tested that i know

Despite being chaotic, it has many types of still lives and oscillators. A random 16*16 soup can last a plenty thousand generations before stabilizing, while a 32*32 soup may take tens of thousands.

The pattern stamp collection as of now

x = 0, y = 0, rule = B2ci3-ay4-i5c/S23-a4ikt5-e

I discovered a rule where tubs and 10c/20 orthogonal spaceships can eat each other. Sweet Revenge in one rule.

Code: Select all

 x = 19, y = 17, rule = B3-ck/S2-i3-a

this makes hat oscillators

someone will def make a puffer out of this

I can take some time to do the search for you over the weekend
Do you have a PC/Laptop at all?

No, try running it (if you want you can ask some others)

Glider uses Towards on a pond. It's effective.

The-Patternfinder

Also: this cheap gamet has the glider be destroyed and turn the oscillator into chaotic, releasing a glider in the same direction, resulting in the illusion of the glider destroying it

 x = 11, y = 13, rule = B3-ckq/S2-i3-q4e

This rule has some interesting behaviors, such as this one:
x = 9, y = 8, rule = B3-ckq/S2-i3-q4e

This reaction changes the direction of T-tetronimo by 90° right.

If you're confused the T-tetronimo (or T-pentomino) moves at c/5 orthogonally.

There's that one oscillator that ...
