Inside Destructions

[HerscheltheHerschel]

An inside destruction is a way of removing any pattern/constellation by placing patterns (such as sparks, still lives, still life predecessors, oscillators, oscillator predecessors, methuselahs, and much more) inside it.
For example, here's an inside destruction of traffic light:

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 9, rule = B3/S23
4bo$4bo$4bo2$3obob3o2$4bo$4bo$4bo!

Inside destruction of pulsar:

Code: Select all

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

Inside destruction of 4 caps (fully useless because 4 caps already dies out even when there's nothing inside it):

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 12, rule = B3/S23

Inside destruction of floodgate (constellation of 2 boat-ties and 4 blinkers, term coined by muzik):

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 16, rule = B3/S23
