Re: Thread for your unsure discoveries

Yum yum!

It contains Eater 1 (Fishhook), a specialized HWSS eater, a pair of killer candlefrobras, a type of MWSS eater, and a specialized LWSS eater. None of these were discovered by me. I find it very interesting though.

Re: Thread for your unsure discoveries

2-eater, 3-eater, 4-eater? Are they just some mutually stabilizing eater quadrants together? It is true I couldn't find it on LifeWiki or Catalogue.

Re: Small Unnatural Objects Watchlist

Today, when randomly selecting a soup in the LifeWiki's Soup page, a weird-looking pattern of 4 blinkers came up in the ash. I have never encountered this before.

x = 7, y = 5, rule = B3/S23

Re: Thread for your unsure discoveries

Wow!

But to be honest, it is actually not very rare compared to my loafy still lives, with a frequency class of only 19.3 compared to my Tied Quad-Loaf Skewb (which I want to rename as Bi-Loaf Tie Skewb, and it is on my profile picture) with a frequency class of 46.4, and because rarity scales ...

This produces 13096 loaves in 60 X 60 (parity only needs to be attended to for long streams of lone block laying gliders):

Re: Thread for your unsure discoveries

Sorry about the subsequent duplicate information, but I wanted to do a separate one with the links and frequency classes included.

Re: Small Unnatural Objects Watchlist

Then, I think these will be interesting. They have never been documented on LifeWiki. No searches gave any online information for them, and I (sort of) independently "discovered" them. The super-loaf is a recorded still live on LifeWiki (search "super loaf" in LifeWiki's search engine).

By mixing a ...

Re: Small Unnatural Objects Watchlist

What the hell is this:

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 6, rule = B3/S23
2b2o$bo2bo$ob2obo$o2bobo$bo2bo$2b2o!
I have never seen such an absurd still live before. How rare is this, what is it called, and what is its frequency class?

EDIT by dvgrn: added standard pattern tags around RLE.

Through brute-force Python searches, I got this 6x6 diehard "o2b3o$5bo$obobo$2bob2o$2obo$3ob2o!" Has anyone already found out about it?

Re: (Engineered) diehards

Any suggestions for diehards not composed of sawtooths, Simkin Glider Guns? I get bored of seeing them too often and with almost no significant changes. I couldn't extend even the best Gosper Glider Gun ideas I have past generation 1374 (I'm a relative newcomer to Life so I don't know that much ...
