New smallest known period 10 oscillator?

Post by Jean-Paul »

Hi,
on the LifeWiki page the smallest known period 10 oscillator consists of 24 cells. How current is this information?
Because I know this pattern consists of 10 cells.

That is a period-10 oscillator in HighLife (B36/S23). It does not work in standard Life (B3/S23).
