How difficult is it to construct things like the ortohogonal antstretcher or things like the greyships.would there be programms used like that from jason summers. or sipmly by using the brain and the raw rules of game of life . i mean you have to do the whole thing in one you can not made the producer and the absorper in seprate steps . thanks for answersHow difficult is it to construct
How difficult is it to construct
hi i am new here but well How difficult is it to construct things like the ortohogonal antstretcher or things like the greyships.would there be programms used like that from jason summers. or sipmly by using the brain and the raw rules of game of life . i mean you have to do the whole thing in one you can not made the producer and the absorper in seprate steps . thanks for answers

by the way thats the rest from a minimal manipulation from the new antsrtecher x = 43, y = 46, rule = B3/S23

Re: How difficult is it to construct
Given enough time, it's not really "difficult" to construct things, per se, as much as it can be tedious. Without using a program for rapid proto-typing, you can just use your own knowledge of the rules and a lot of trial and error to eventually get to something large and complex. If that weren't true, half of what we have wouldn't exist and there would have been no point in making programs to assist in construction. I haven't made any giant ships or anything, but I made a large, stable still life just by thinking through the rules.
Also, around here it's generally easier to copy a pattern if you post it in a code box, instead of just a naked forum post.
