Post by Yoel »

During my recent research of cyclical multistate rules, I've discovered an extension of Life with 3 different colors, which tends to explode into something that looks like randomly growing seashores, therefore I called it Sealife. Each color by its own behaves exactly like the regular Life. The following rules are added, if different states collide:

1. A cell of a certain state is born, if surrounded by 2 neighbors of the same color and 1 neighbor of a different color.

2. A cell survives, if surrounded by 4,5 or 6 neighbors, unless they are all of the same color.

Here is an example of the "seashore" behavior:

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 9, rule = Sealife
2.A4.C.C$A.A4.2C$.2A5.C4$2.3B$4.B$3.B!
Here is a extremely simple pattern that evolves into a seemingly chaotic dirty puffer:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 4, rule = Sealife
3B3$3C!
A pattern that turn into a funny animal-looking still life:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = Sealife
3B$BC$BA!

Very similar to SeaLife:
