Oscilluction Coils(Game)

This is a variant of deduction coils where you start with a pattern, and you stabilize it, to make oscillators of some periods. Period one is allowed and welding a oscillator is not allowed.
First:

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 6, rule = B3/S23
3b3o$b2o3b2o$o7bo$o7bo$b2o3b2o$3b3o!
The points are the sum of the periods.

Did you mean to make that pattern even-symmetric along the vertical axis instead of odd-symmetric?

Since it was intended to be an oscillator, I think this was the intended solution, although making it a still life in the center has the same number of cells.

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 12, rule = B3/S23
7bo$6bobo$3bo2b2o$3b3o$b2o3b2o$o2b2o3bo$o2b2o3bo$b2o3b2o$3b3o$b2o2bo$o
bo$bo!
My previous comment regarding even-symmetric was because of this p7:

Code: Select all

x = 22, y = 13, rule = B3/S23

Here's the next one. Note that a still life is impossible here. (note: changed one minute after initial post)

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 5, rule = B3/S23
