So I finally managed to speedrun Conway's Game of Life. You can find my footage here.

Wow! Those are some very nice time-saving strats!
Before this I hadn't been able to push my time below 0:17 but combining these new strats with my own might let me push my PB all the way down to 0:09 :!:
I'll update this post if everything works out.

I managed to freeze a pre-block for some time. I included a beacon to show time.

Code: Select all

x = 110, y = 60, rule = B3/S23
8b2o$8b2o$6b2o$6b2o5$o$2o


















41$8b2o48b2o48b2o$8b2o48b2o48b2o$6b2o48b2o48b

#C [[ THEME Mono THUMBNAIL THUMBSIZE 3 HEIGHT 480 GPS 10 LOOP 200 X -55 Y -30 Z 9.9 AUTOSTART PAUSE 2 ]]
#C [[ T 1 PAUSE 0 Y 20 ]]
#C [[ T 2 PAUSE 0 X -5 ]]
#C [[ T 3 PAUSE 0 X 45 ]]
I don't know if it's useful or not, but I can't reproduce it.

It was pretty cheeky to go for Big S clips during a deathless run. Good routing, too.

It works all the time if you put the top part of the preblock at x= 136424466336, y= 2046.

What do you mean by "top part"?

I forgot. Sorry.
