Useless Glider Syntheses Thread

Post by rutabaga »

Post the least useful glider syntheses you know of... for example, a 12 glider synthesis of a blinker.
*not a traffic light, I'm just stupid xD

Code: Select all

x = 128, y = 133, rule = B3/S23

Regardless of how useless a glider synthesis is, it still has to be valid. This one is not, as the four gliders in the center cross paths.

I changed it to one that's valid (or I think it is... I've only been playing since december)

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = 2-a35-j8/2-ak34n5i78/3

Code: Select all

x = 15, y = 15, rule = B3/S23

also, can you count how many herschels there are?
oh, yeah--the main methuselah is this:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 5, rule = B3/S23
