That is not obvious. Merely posting the object is insufficient, it fails to demonstrate that the collision indeed works (or even that it's indeed the result of a specific collision, and which collision).

In cases like this, it would be much better if all such snippets were merged into one single pattern collection (in this case, a collection of oscillators you would like to share). That would let the readers to view all the small oscillators at once in a single pattern, instead of forcing them to click the small RLE snippets one-by-one.

Further, in StateInvestigator it's very easy to find lots and lots of small oscillators relying on higher-numered cellstates. As far as I know, there were no systematic efforts to collect/catalogue such oscillators. The most likely reason is that there are way too many of them. Without any additional explanations (as to what makes a given oscillator "more interesting" than any other typical example), probably it would be better to avoid posting them in large quantities. Certainly it is best to avoid posting such oscillators one-by-one.

This breaks forum rule 5b:

Forum rules wrote: March 18th, 2016, 8:52 pm Readers of your post should have a rough idea of what to expect when they open your RLE in LifeViewer or copy it into another program. Outside of the Sandbox forum, at least briefly describe (or quote another post that describes) what pattern(s) you're posting. Descriptions also make it much easier to find patterns by searching the forums.
