What's Your Favorite OCA?

Post by JoyceJMcRae »

Hello

I'm looking to discover more OCAs and would love some recommendations.

Can you name one OCA that you enjoy and briefly say why you like it?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Travelling Ts is my favorite OCA. It’s relatively well-developed for an INT rule and the thread has over 40 pages. It has completely different dynamics from CGoL in soups, as soups tend to stick into a couple blobs that eventually stabilize instead of immediately into many smaller active regions as in CGoL.
123 days until New York's age verification law goes into effect.

Code: Select all

x = 192, y = 53, rule = B3/S23
