I played that 2-3 years ago and that's true. But it's boring even though I got so much.

What you guys play Cookie Clicker by just MANUALLY CLICKING? Isn't Cookie Clicker a game of development (of cookie factory)?

Let me introduce you to Click Frenzy.
Ok, to be homest, it was a Frenzy, but after that first experience I’m always going to tap during Frenzies.

I use three fingers on each hand to tap.

This is definitely possible. The most optimized published program for methuselah searching is this one by simeks. It is CGoL only and written in C (and assembly?), but if you're interested in optimized algorithms it's the best I'm aware of.

There are probably more general implementations published somewhere here, but I can't seem to find any after a brief search through the forums. You'll need two main parts to for this script:

- An enumeration of all patterns (of a given cell count?) within a given bounding box. A naive implementation of this is very simple, but you'll want to avoid testing the same pattern multiple times.

- A way to run a pattern to stabilisation and detect when the pattern stabilised. This is the tricky bit, particularly given the need to deal with linear growth. You could look at apgsearch for ideas as well as simeks program. apgsearch actually has two algorithms for this process: stabilise3() to give an estimate of the time to stabilisation (almost always an overestimate except for patterns in very long lived rules) and methudetect() which gives a fairly accurate stabilisation time (but is only used for CGoL).

I like chemistry as well!

By the way I typed that by hand.
In ICT, while I was copying down ascii codes (don’t ask me why, the teacher told us to) I figured out how to:
A. Make uppercase and lowercase letters
B. Translate between them.

First, count where it is in the alphabet, A is 1, B is 2, etc. Next, turn it to binary. Then, you append 010 to the start for uppercase, and 011 for lowercase. And that’s all.

To translate between them, just invert the third bit from the left.
01000001 (A) to 01100001 (a)

Yep. Totally ridiculous. I play multiplayer and do redstone. Not all have Minecraft because it's a bit expensive.
