I have just come up with a 17-state Von-Neumann neighborhood rule which can be used to make digital logic circuits.
Ruletable here (Save as CircuitRule.table):

There is a reaction involving a boat and a glider, where the boat is destroyed cleanly and the glider is reflected 90 degrees.

I want to create a pattern with sqrt(t) growth.

Hmm, I was hoping my life-to-wire rule would cause more buzz than this. This is indeed more cool, but just a gimmick, as there's really nothing you can do with the signal.
Solution: Add extra states!
State 4: WW Head
State 5: WW Tail
State 6: WW Conductor
State 7: WW -> Charged Pi

Funky Factory Rules:
Here's how I made it:
State 0: Change state to state of cell above
State 1+:Change state to state of cell at some position around it (exact position depends on state)
Last state: Blocker (does nothing)
Example Rule:
n_states:8
neighborhood:Moore
symmetries:none

Big battleship that I made:

The shield-enders have the same structure as the guns;
When the front shield generators get destroyed, the shield-enders have nothing to end, so the gliders made by
them escape.

It works using a Herschel track puffer, and a fixed endpoint made up of two guns synthesizing a pi-heptomino, which is then converted to a Herschel and let through the puffed track. The gliders from the Herschels are not destroyed by eaters, so waves of gliders come out of the track.

I wrote this script to convert LifeHistory to Life. Those pesky state 2 cells almost always get in the way!

This could be another way of simulating randomness.

Gosper glider guns' gliders stabilize incomplete Gosper glider guns which are in turn stabilizing another incomplete gun.
