Just made a wiki account, could I please have edit permissions? Username is Ian07.

Done!

Thanks

Done by your friendly neighborhood moderator dvgrn, who also refers to himself in the third person.

Haha, thanks friendly neighbor.
Maybe dvgrn wouldn't want to be confused with Dvgrn either?

Or with dvrgn.

Trusted mode please! I wish to diversify content on the "Polyonimoes" Page on the wiki.

Please trust me! I have being on lifewiki for a long time but never contributed it.

But I think I found a methuselah that is not listed on it,that's why I am registering.

x = 10, y = 5, rule = B3/S23
$7bo$2bo4b2o$2b2o3bo$3bo!

Please check for a bit

Unfortunately if you tried to add that to the list of long-lived methuselahs, someone would have to remove it again. It's 7x4, so has a taller bounding box by one cell than rabbits and relatives, which last ten times as long... and the same initial population as acorn, which is also 7x3 and lasts more than twice as long as this one.

If we tried to list all the methuselahs that were more or less as good as that one, we'd have thousands (at least) of non-record-breaking methuselahs to document.

Well,I’ll try find something better in the future.

As a general rule of thumb, BTW, entirely new discoveries are best posted to the forums first so that others can chime in on how noteworthy they are.

Very interesting patterns may have LifeWiki articles written quickly by others --- may,mind, it's far from guaranteed. If the consensus is that the pattern is cool / interesting / useful, and no one else steps up to write an article on it, you can still do it yourself, but please share the pattern here first. It's easy to get excited when finding something new and overestimate its significance.

I would like to request a "trusted" flag, please. I'm trying to improve the page contents of various methuselahs in the wiki.

Thanks for reading!

Can I please get the trusted flag? I would like to add a few life types that I discovered while fooling around with a faulty version of Conway's Game of Life on the TI-84 Plus calculator to http://www.conwaylife.com/wiki/List_of_ ... r_automata. My username is "REDsEngineer".

Edit: Also I can't create my own talk page

Done! Are these "life types" new rules, not new patterns? In either case, a recent reminder seems likely to be relevant:

The dreaded word "notable" appears on the page you pointed to. We can't name all of the Life-like rules, let alone all the isotropic non-totalistic rules. If we did that, then nobody would be able to find the most interesting or "notable" rules in the resulting ridiculously long list of mostly mediocre rules.

That said, a forum thread advertising a previously unexplored rule, if it gets any significant amount of traffic, is pretty much all that's needed to change a rule from non-notable to notable.

They're new cellular automata, and I don't know what rules they would have. They are: Segmentations, Shine, Glint, Runes, Growing Crystallizations, and Target. They're all named after the way the Blinker (Conway's Game of Life) evolves in them. I've made a forum page for them (viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3587) and I will add Shine, Glint, Runes, Growing Crystallizations, and Target when I find my TI-84 Plus.
P.S. The Segmentations gif was recorded using an emulator that I saved it on
P.P.S. I did not mention the cellular automata that go nowhere from the Blinker

I updated it. More gifs coming soon.

If you only need to know who invented the Game of Life, someone can use a bot to fill in the answer on the page. I think you could add another question related to the Game of Life that changes every time, and that most people registering should know.

Unrelated, but *PLEASE* get rid of your signature, or don't add a viewer tag. Thank you.

[EvinZL]

May I request trusted flag for Evin?

May I request trusted flag for Evin?

Like danny said, PLEASE PLEASE make your signature smaller. If you replace the viewer tag with a code tag, you can still get the option to "show in viewer" but it won't take up as much space:

Code: Select all

x=13, y=5, rule=B3/S23

Done. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility.
