Keep in mind that Golly emulates
strobing rules (of which B0/S is an example) in a certain way, so what you see is not necessarily the actual (raw) behavior of the CA.

Apparently, B0/S8 is not a strobing rule.
Code: Select all
x = 1, y = 1, rule = B0/S8
o!
[[ AUTOSTART T 0 PAUSE 3 "Single cell" T 1 PAUSE 3 "8 cells are born" T 2 PAUSE 3 "Middle cell dies" ]]

Indeed. Although the universe will get born on the first generation, the newly-born parts then survive in subsequent generations, so it's not got that "strobing" effect.
It's still a B0 rule, which means that Golly etc. will not display it "raw".
