Re: Escherized metapixel

As Joel said, it would be huge: each metapixel is 2048x2048, and there were around 85x15 of those. But it's trivial to generate the pattern:
1) select a single "on" pixel, and use the metafier script.
2) zoom into the center and select a few LWSSs, then use the metafier script again.

Escherized metapixel

The OTCA metapixel is a 2048 x 2048 life pattern that simulates the life rules, life-in-life. It runs with a period of approximately 2^15. The machinery of the pattern is around the edge of the square; the center is a vast field that gets flooded with LWSSs when the cell is in the ON state. Golly ...
