A pattern that makes 2 LWSSes. I was just messing around with the g+mango, added a dot spark, realised it made a glider, added a mold to try to support it, and out came a LWSS. I tried to clean it up, and out spat another one.

I guess the only thing really notable is this corrolary dirty lwss seed:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 19, rule = B3/S23

I don’t know if this fits more in Useless or Accidental.
