Life Without Death

[NoAyeBeardo]

After being surprised by no dedicated Life Without Death thread, I decided to start one.
Here is my contribution, the smallest possible infinite growth pattern in this rule:

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 3, rule = B3/S012345678
2o$bo$bo!

EDIT:
After running it for 10000 generations, it grew from 4 cells to 10369062 cells, and seemed to have quadratic growth.

...Apparently not. 3-cell infinite growth:

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 3, rule = B3/S012345678
2o2$o!

- it stabilizes into linear growth though.

and these

Code: Select all

x = 17, y = 5, rule = B3/S012345678

We should settle down on the middle one, which have MCPS=3.

I screwed up. I only tested polyominos. Well, that shares the record for smallest polyomino with this:

Code: Select all

x = 30, y = 12, rule = B3/S012345678
28b2o$28bo$28bo7$o$2o$o!

EDIT: the second one(the T-tetromino) stabilizes into linear growth, and has 477330 cells alive at the end. The T-tetromino grows ~20 times as slow as the tail.

after a quick apgsearch, i found this 196 cell still life :0

Code: Select all

x = 14, y = 20, rule = B3/S012345678

How can you even apgsearch it???????
Otherwise this hread is really useless.
(Have you read my pm?)

You can't apgsearch this rule... It's explosive... Or is this a fake and you found it by hand, or did you call every search program "apgsearch"?

Not really. I'm sure a Life Without Death Rule 110 Unit Cell™ (WIP) will impress everyone.
