SkewLife - R2,C2,S2-3,B3,N@22a544

[ColorfulGalaxy]

A very strange rule that allows you to simulate 2 life patterns at a time.

This looks like a tub but it's actually a block:

Code: Select all

x = 0, y = 0, rule = R2,C2,S2-3,B3,N@22a544
bo$obo$bo!

Look:

Code: Select all

x = 0, y = 0, rule = R2,C2,S2-3,B3,N@22a544
bo$obo$bo!
[[ ANGLE 135 ]]

Other examples:
Block plus tub:

Code: Select all

x = 0, y = 0, rule = R2,C2,S2-3,B3,N@22a544
3o$obo$3o!

Tub plus pond:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 5, rule = R2,C2,S2-3,B3,N@22a544
bobo$2ob2o2$2ob2o$bobo!

R-pentomino:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = R2,C2,S2-3,B3,N@22a544

Two beehives:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = R2,C2,S2-3,B3,N@22a544

Two gliders:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = R2,C2,S2-3,B3,N@22a544

Two sparkcoils:

What does that string at the end even mean?

[muzik]

This is already known as "SkewLife"

[AforAmpere]

This really doesn't need a thread. It is just Life, twice. This kind of thing would go better in one of the more general threads, like the LTL thread or the Miscellaneous Discoveries in OCA thread.

Yeah, there's no point investigating this rule, because it is equivalent to life.

It gives a lot of strange things, like this c/2 diagonal spaceship, which is impossible in Life.

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 6, rule = R2,C2,S2-3,B3,N@22a544

... That's only a trivial translation to the Life equivalent of this pattern i. e. LWSS. Where's the point?

The 3x5 hollow rectangle, which is a pulsar predecessor in Life, stays still in SkewLife.

You keep claiming that this rule is different from Life because patterns behaves differently, but every SkewLife discovery can be translated into one or two Life patterns directly and every Life pattern can be translated into SkewLife directly, so exploring SkewLife is exactly the same as exploring Life, thus there's not point exploring SkewLife.

This thread could relate to how the 0E0P metacell works, since that is kind of "skewed".

[LuxiusGOL]

How are you even supposed to run this rule?!??!?
I understand R2,C2,S2-3,B3, but what is N@22a544??

that's the coordca witchcraft magic that specifies what cells are considered neighbors

[bubblegum]

Paste it into the Settings->Pattern->Change Rule JS dialog in LifeViewer.
