Re: "Hashwar": A Battle Royale for individual GOL configurations

With my absolutely incarnate skill, I have managed to pull off a “get rekt” moment. I absolutely genuinely with no cheating at all managed to snag 5 of the top 6 results for longest lasting glyph. I definitely did not translate the #1 pattern by a cell at all (yep, totally out of the question) or ...

Re: Life with AI: a free GPU-glow Life player in the browser (first post, feedback welcome)

It’s alright. Its plain controls seem easier to use to create aesthetic with than to create something useful though. If wanted to create something in life I would rather input it myself than pay $10 for it to evaporate water and get an incorrect pattern, as LLMs are infamously bad at cellular ...

Re: who did always remove thread to sandbox?

Your method is solely comprised of guessing and checking. It just so happens that some members of the forum use more sophisticated techniques (or rather they code programs that use more sophisticated techniques, but I digress). This is why they are proud of their “oscillated patterns” (but not all ...

As we know, Conway's rules simulate survival competition, and History development is also survival competition. So why isn't character development?

Re: Strict definitions

Here is a suggestion. It is probably clunky and can be improved:
Each period of the oscillator is composed of various polyplets. If, at any point in the evolution of the oscillator, any individual polyplet or group of polyplets can be removed from the oscillator and the tampered-with pattern evolves ...

Re: Strict definitions



You can use Catagolue's object page to find if two patterns are interacting or not. If they are interacting, then its one object.


Catagolue is not fool-proof. Go to say D2_+2 and xp15. There’ll be a lot of bi-pentadecathons, but a lot of them simply don’t interact, however their envelopes do ...

Re: Langton's Ant Society

In the previous discussion of oscillators, a notion happened upon me: in many oscillators, if you track a specific ant’s movement in some oscillators, it will not return to its original cell in its original orientation after a period has elapsed. Instead, It will have taken another ant’s place, and ...

Re: Langton's Ant Society


In Langston's ants oscillators with large periods are easier to find than small periods.
What is the lowest period possible?
The lowest I have found is a p16.

On an unrelated note here is catalysis where the spirals shape is changed

Why does the number of rules in the Catagolue INT rule table occasionally decrease? A few weeks ago, there were exactly 14,000 apgsearched INT rules, but today, there are only 13,836.

Re: Langton's Ant Society

I created a version of Langton’s Ant where ants cannot destroy each other by occupying the same cell. I did this because in the version of Langton’s Ant that is currently used, there are only 9 states, which can only deal with 1 ant being on each cell. This results in ants that are moving onto the ...
