3034 period oscillator found (alternative rules)

Post by Orangery »

I discovered a 3034 period oscillator in 1997 but didn't know it at the time. Those were the days when I was using Al Hensel's excellent Life 1.06 program. Could it be the largest to date?

We may have found oscillators with higher periods (depending on which rule it was found in), but it would be nice to see what you found, so please post it! (Also, was it in B3/S23 or some other rule? if in B3/S23, then this would be suitable for the "patterns" category, and if not then the "other automata" category)

Hi Sphen - I used B3678/S5678 (not to be confused with Dean Hickerson's Diamoeba rule which evolves quite differently). How should I proceed with this as I am new to this site - thanks.
