Did you see the awesome Click and Drag comic at xkcd? I made it into an .mc file which is readable in Golly. :)

For best experience, resize the window to the Click and Drag panel size and keep the zoom level to 1:1.

That's P56.

After some more searching, I've found a much more basic, but messier, but I believe there's a chance to clean it up:

Okay, let me explain:

What does this do?

This is a device which is used in a metapixel. A metapixel is a pattern that it can be used as a single cell of another rule. (See the Hashlife folder in Golly's Pattern folder - you will find OTCAmetapixel, a metapixel in Life.) This device checks the ...
