Tropylium, I like your Methuselahs. They are very interesting, but in the rle's, I had to change the rule life to 23/3. Just something I wanted to point out.

In Golly, you can just copy and paste the pattern, regardless of rule.

Oh. When I did it, It didn't work. Maybe it is because I don't have perl or python.

Okay, I was just wondering about something- Can unidimensional patterns (1*N) be counted as methuselahs?
If so, here are some interesting and simple methuselahs you can add in to the list in the wiki:
http://infinitegrowth.wordpress.com/200 ... -patterns/
Of course, the most famous one in there is the infinite-growth pattern (though that's not a methuselah)-
Code: Select all
#CXRLE Pos=0,0
x = 39, y = 1, rule = B3/S23
