Finally straying away from the rule tables, here is a Generations rule that bears a striking resemblance to Life in terms of the end product. There are two main things commonly found in the results. A 5c/12 (!) spaceship:
A p20 oscillator:
Both have predecessors that are entirely composed of state 1 cells and have a population of under 10. (For the oscillator, the "predecessor" isn't really a predecessor, but an actual state of the oscillator.)
Code: Select all
x = 15, y = 3, rule = 23568/357/4
.5A6.BA$ABCB.CA6.CA$.5A6.BA!
Code: Select all
x = 4, y = 4, rule = 23568/357/4
.2A$A.2A$.A.A$2.A!
