Post a puzzle.
In this puzzle, every cell should have 0 or 1 neighbours,
and your task is to stabilize it with the fewest extra cells.
EDIT: Solutions cannot cannot be decomposed into two stable pattern.
My turn first

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 7, rule = B3/S23
2o2$3bo2$4bo2$6bo!

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 9, rule = LifeHistory
2C$A.A$3.C$.2A.A$2.A.C$A4.2A$2A4.C$5.A$5.2A!
19 total population

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 8, rule = LifeHistory
2C$A$.A.C$4.A$3.AC2$6.CA$6.2A!
12 max population if the cells could be in a rotor

You have the period 2 bit covering the wrong cells!

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 9, rule = LifeHistory
2C$A.A$3.C$4.A$3.AC2$6.C$6.A$6.A!
(Population 11)

It doesn't need a rotor:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 8, rule = LifeHistory
2C$A.A$3.C$4.A$3.AC2$6.CA$6.2A!

Hmm...

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 7, rule = LifeHistory
2C$A.A$.A.C$3.A$3.ACA$6.A$5.AC!

Isn't this a rip off of Solitaire of Life but with an uneccessary extra condition?

Yeah, and the additional condition wasn't even there at first. But it's not the first time Hunting has copied something like this...

I saw that "Solitaire of Life" topic at first. But one day when I remember that game, I cannot find that topic(I don't know why I do that). So I post a copy of it

This response makes me believe that you weren't just doing it to get attention even less. How does it make any sense to just copy something if you know it exists? If you were unaware it existed, or made a significantly different variant at the start, it would be fine, and I don't think anyone would care. However, blatantly copying something after you know it already exists (which you did with the 'bridge') is ridiculous.
