episode 21 released! its about snowflakes, with its 21 bit still life.

you could see why i was waiting for episode 21. i got impatient and made a crappy miniseries.

[tommyaweosme]

there are very few cases where i cover close-to-life cellular automata. i am not covering b3n/s23 or b3/s23n anytime soon (where n is a number from 4-8, or does not exist at all)

it takes a lot of effort to make an oca critic episode...

but i will do that rule now

edit: finished. sry for short episode

[tommyaweosme]

i tryed to copy paste it into catagolue and it didnt work. huh? there was a page all along?

Can you do B2ce3ai/S01?

Really sad posting this one, my computer died, and I lost tons of other objects in this rule.
The rule mainly consists of tightly packed dots and dominoes, but possesses a c/2, a chaotic c/2 puffer, a replicator that's not exactly XOR and also just makes puffers, and some other cool oscillators lining the insides of soups:

4diagonal is B34c/S23, and I think you did not cover Factorio.

OCA critic: Stopbox

Today we look at Stopbox, a rule with still lifes, a single speed, oscillators and an undecillion guns.

Still lifes? So far the smallest one is 9-cells…wait, the 5-cell "flower"? Both of them are useful in catalysis.

Spaceships? The smallest one is called a box…and the rest…box, box box box box

Oscillators? Omniperiodic because of reflectors.

Guns? Too much to cata"gol"ue.

So we plaace Stopbox in a position above Bosco's rule.

EDIT: also include the beyblade rulespace which there are spinning bugs.
