My GOOD ideas:

Osmosed Ships:
*Ships that travel very slowly even when time is speed up

Forever Life:
*For patterns that are known to last active for more than 10000+ generations

True Forever Life:
*Patterns that will never turn to ash

Complex:
*50000+ Population
*400+ Generation Lifespan

Dead Patterns:
*Patterns that will result with nothing

True Dead Patterns:
*Same as Dead Patterns
*Cells have to been joined or affecting each other

My BAD ideas (Still useful though):

Blimp:
*Ships that are only symmetrical across the X axis travelling orthogonally across the X axis

Zeppelin:
*A Blimp with a population of 40 to 100

Airship:
*Zeppelin with a population of 100+

'''Robert T. Wainwright''' is a mathematician who was involved with the advancement and popularization of [[Conway's Game of Life]] right from its start in the early 1970s. He has discovered dozens of well-known and important patterns including the [[emulator]]s and the [[blinker puffer 1|first known blinker puffer]].

He has found several important [[oscillator]]s, including the first known oscillators of [[period]]s {{period|12|brief}} ([[dinner table]]), {{period|21|brief}} ([[124P21]]), and {{period|72|brief}} ([[two blockers hassling R-pentomino]]).

In the early 1970s, he published [[Lifeline]], a newsletter devoted to discoveries about Life, and sometimes other [[Life-like cellular automaton|similar cellular automata]]. Many of the original discoveries in Life were first published in Lifeline, and Lifeline served to foster much interest in Life. He was also one of the first people to enumerate all of the small [[still life]]s; he extended the lists created by [[John Conway]] to include all still lifes up to and including {{slcells|10}} [[cell]]s.

'''Trans-mirrored bun''' is a {{slcells|14}}-[[cell]] [[still life#Strict_still_lifes|strict still life]] consisting of two mutually stabilising [[bun]]s. It is one of six ways in which two buns can be arranged to create a still life, and one of the five which have two separate [[island]]s.

This specific [[isomer]] is [[Pattern naming|named]] ''trans-mirrored'' due to the two inducting faces not being skewed from each other (hence ''mirrored''), and the "denser" parts of each island are on opposite sides (hence ''trans''). This naming scheme is technically contradictory due to the lack of mirror symmetry; rather, it is one of the three possible isomers with rotational symmetry.

I'm glad you want to help with my edits. However, I'd like to point out that I did not ask for your help. You keep changing stuff on my userpage, and that is really not cool. [[Help:User pages]] says that: "(...) non-moderators should generally not edit the user pages of other users without their explicit or implicit permission".

LifeWiki:Task list

2026-08-16T01:19:25Z

SeaKrait: /* Current tasks */

This is a combined public '''task list''' for all LifeWiki editors. It lists specific projects that editors have identified as needing to be done. For more general ideas about what to do, see the [[LifeWiki:Helping out|Helping out]] page.

All editors are welcome to add ideas or work on any idea listed here. Any task listed here is available for anyone to tackle. [[#Instructions|More details]] on how to work on tasks or add tasks to this list are provided at the bottom of the page.

In many cases, the task descriptions are pretty brief. If you'd like more information on any task, just ask on the [[LifeWiki Talk:Task list|talk page]]. Don't worry, asking about a task doesn't mean you have to do it!

==Current tasks==
This section contains the current list of all tasks that are in progress or that need to be done.

* Add/improve references/citations over the wiki, including but not limited to:
** In [[:Category:Pages citing websites]] there are many old instances with {{tl|cite web}} that should be updated with new specialized templates if exist. For instance, {{tl|LinkForumThread}} has not been applied to all forums post references.
** Complete synthesis info for pages in [[:Category:Synthesizable objects without synthesis reference]].
* Manage the {{#dpl:namespace=Rule|mode=userformat|resultsheader=%TOTALPAGES%}} pages under Rule namespace, which are shown in [https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex?prefix=&namespace=3794 this raw list] and [[list of cellular automata|this list in lexicographical order]]. There are at least these to be done:
** Remove all 2-state range-1 ruletables on the 2d square grid without icon specification, which were created in the pre-INT/MAP era and now should be registered in the LifeViewer aliase list. Also do similar things in the future according to updates of natively supported rule families.
** Is it possible to design a mechanism that automatically categorizes rules by neighborhood, num_neighbors, symmetries, n_states (num_states), num_nodes, etc, ''without modifying their individual pages''? The <tt>includematch</tt> in DynamicPageList is something close but not really working as it seems to rely on templates.
** There have been many Life-related rules with additional states for marking and modifying evolution, for instance [[Rule:LifeSuper]] and [[Rule:StateInvestigator]]. Make a list of these and compare them in terms of function of each state.
** Better yet, write comments for obscure rules to explain transitions, and identify reinventions/duplicates of rules.
* Miscellaneous stuff:
** {{tl|OscNumbers}} is a template to display on headers adjacent members in a family of numerical categories; an example in action can be seen at [[:Category:Oscillators_with_period_100]]. Probably it should be refactored to a more maintainable form. Some former instances are collected in [[:Category:Category navigation templates]], many of which use an old broken DynamicPageList syntax.
** [[Special:WantedPages]] lists non-existing pages that are linked to from at least one place. This list of "red links" may be helpful when looking for missing articles about [[LifeWiki:Notability|notable]] topics. Similarly, [[Special:WantedFiles]] lists missing files.
*** (Note: When editing any existing LifeWiki article, you can create a red link by linking to a non-existing page title. If you know about [[LifeWiki:Notability|notable]] topics that are currently missing from LifeWiki, feel free to create red links to the missing pages about such topics (so that other editors know the page is missing), even if you do not currently have time/resources to write those articles yourself; LifeWiki is an unfinished work-in-progress done by many people.)
** Finish the [[LifeWiki:FAQ]] page as per the suggestion on the Talk page, and add it to the links sidebar on the left.
** (added by [[User:Confocal|Confocal]] on 2023-08-18) How about creating [[LifeWiki:Community wishlist]] for unsolved questions / pattern engineering ideas / software ideas / etc. that are of interest to a significant fraction of the community?
** Write introductory articles for the [[LifeWiki:Articles]] sub-space; expand [[Tutorials]].
** Include more detail in a LifeViewer section of [[LifeWiki:Editor_pages|How to contribute]] about the various ways to make use of LifeViewer in articles.
* Page on the https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Wickeater needs making as is missing on page https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Fuse

==Instructions==
===Working on a task===
# Look through list and see if anything appeals to you.
# If you can't figure out what a task means or if you're not sure how to do it, ask on the [[LifeWiki Talk:Task list|talk page]].
# Once you've picked something you would like to work on, go nuts! You do not need to mark this page to let others know that you intend to take care of that task.
# If you have completed a task, please remove it from the list.

===Adding a task===
Any editor can add a task to the page. If there's something that you think needs to be done on the site, add it! If you're not sure about your idea or would like feedback, add it to the [[LifeWiki Talk:Task list|talk page]] and ask for other editors to provide their opinion. Some things to keep in mind are:
* This page is supposed to list specific ideas for projects that editors can work on; more general to-do information is at [[LifeWiki:Helping out]]
* Don't add tasks that you are planning on finishing yourself in the near future (e.g., the next week or so); this is supposed to be for tasks that are available for other editors to work on.
* If in doubt, just go ahead and add it. Another editor might move it to a more appropriate place, but it's much better to add the idea so others know about it than to delay adding it because you're not sure where to put it.

LifeWiki:Task list

2026-08-16T01:17:37Z

SeaKrait: /* Current tasks */

This is a combined public '''task list''' for all LifeWiki editors. It lists specific projects that editors have identified as needing to be done. For more general ideas about what to do, see the [[LifeWiki:Helping out|Helping out]] page.

All editors are welcome to add ideas or work on any idea listed here. Any task listed here is available for anyone to tackle. [[#Instructions|More details]] on how to work on tasks or add tasks to this list are provided at the bottom of the page.

In many cases, the task descriptions are pretty brief. If you'd like more information on any task, just ask on the [[LifeWiki Talk:Task list|talk page]]. Don't worry, asking about a task doesn't mean you have to do it!

==Current tasks==
This section contains the current list of all tasks that are in progress or that need to be done.

* Add/improve references/citations over the wiki, including but not limited to:
** In [[:Category:Pages citing websites]] there are many old instances with {{tl|cite web}} that should be updated with new specialized templates if exist. For instance, {{tl|LinkForumThread}} has not been applied to all forums post references.
** Complete synthesis info for pages in [[:Category:Synthesizable objects without synthesis reference]].
* Manage the {{#dpl:namespace=Rule|mode=userformat|resultsheader=%TOTALPAGES%}} pages under Rule namespace, which are shown in [https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex?prefix=&namespace=3794 this raw list] and [[list of cellular automata|this list in lexicographical order]]. There are at least these to be done:
** Remove all 2-state range-1 ruletables on the 2d square grid without icon specification, which were created in the pre-INT/MAP era and now should be registered in the LifeViewer aliase list. Also do similar things in the future according to updates of natively supported rule families.
** Is it possible to design a mechanism that automatically categorizes rules by neighborhood, num_neighbors, symmetries, n_states (num_states), num_nodes, etc, ''without modifying their individual pages''? The <tt>includematch</tt> in DynamicPageList is something close but not really working as it seems to rely on templates.
** There have been many Life-related rules with additional states for marking and modifying evolution, for instance [[Rule:LifeSuper]] and [[Rule:StateInvestigator]]. Make a list of these and compare them in terms of function of each state.
** Better yet, write comments for obscure rules to explain transitions, and identify reinventions/duplicates of rules.
* Miscellaneous stuff:
** {{tl|OscNumbers}} is a template to display on headers adjacent members in a family of numerical categories; an example in action can be seen at [[:Category:Oscillators_with_period_100]]. Probably it should be refactored to a more maintainable form. Some former instances are collected in [[:Category:Category navigation templates]], many of which use an old broken DynamicPageList syntax.
** [[Special:WantedPages]] lists non-existing pages that are linked to from at least one place. This list of "red links" may be helpful when looking for missing articles about [[LifeWiki:Notability|notable]] topics. Similarly, [[Special:WantedFiles]] lists missing files.
*** (Note: When editing any existing LifeWiki article, you can create a red link by linking to a non-existing page title. If you know about [[LifeWiki:Notability|notable]] topics that are currently missing from LifeWiki, feel free to create red links to the missing pages about such topics (so that other editors know the page is missing), even if you do not currently have time/resources to write those articles yourself; LifeWiki is an unfinished work-in-progress done by many people.)
** Finish the [[LifeWiki:FAQ]] page as per the suggestion on the Talk page, and add it to the links sidebar on the left.
** (added by [[User:Confocal|Confocal]] on 2023-08-18) How about creating [[LifeWiki:Community wishlist]] for unsolved questions / pattern engineering ideas / software ideas / etc. that are of interest to a significant fraction of the community?
** Write introductory articles for the [[LifeWiki:Articles]] sub-space; expand [[Tutorials]].
** Include more detail in a LifeViewer section of [[LifeWiki:Editor_pages|How to contribute]] about the various ways to make use of LifeViewer in articles.

==Instructions==
===Working on a task===
# Look through list and see if anything appeals to you.
# If you can't figure out what a task means or if you're not sure how to do it, ask on the [[LifeWiki Talk:Task list|talk page]].
# Once you've picked something you would like to work on, go nuts! You do not need to mark this page to let others know that you intend to take care of that task.
# If you have completed a task, please remove it from the list.

===Adding a task===
Any editor can add a task to the page. If there's something that you think needs to be done on the site, add it! If you're not sure about your idea or would like feedback, add it to the [[LifeWiki Talk:Task list|talk page]] and ask for other editors to provide their opinion. Some things to keep in mind are:

Hello pifricted.

I'm glad you want to help with my edits. However, I'd like to point out that I did not ask for your help. You keep changing stuff on my userpage, and that is really not cool. [[Help:User pages]] says that: "(...) non-moderators should generally not edit the user pages of other users without their explicit or implicit permission".

You are obviously free to edit pages in mainspace after I add stuff on them, but ''please'' refrain from doing that on my userpage.

*50000+ Population
*400+ Generation Lifespan

Dead Patterns:
*Patterns that will result with nothing

True Dead Patterns:
*Same as Dead Patterns
*Cells have to been joined or affecting each other

My BAD ideas (Still useful though):

Blimp:
*Ships that are only symmetrical across the Y axis travelling in a straight line

Zeppelin:
*A Blimp with a population of 40 to 100

This is a combined public '''task list''' for all LifeWiki editors. It lists specific projects that editors have identified as needing to be done. For more general ideas about what to do, see the [[LifeWiki:Helping out|Helping out]] page.

All editors are welcome to add ideas or work on any idea listed here. Any task listed here is available for anyone to tackle. [[#Instructions|More details]] on how to work on tasks or add tasks to this list are provided at the bottom of the page.

In many cases, the task descriptions are pretty brief. If you'd like more information on any task, just ask on the [[LifeWiki Talk:Task list|talk page]]. Don't worry, asking about a task doesn't mean you have to do it!

** In [[:Category:Pages citing websites]] there are many old instances with {{tl|cite web}} that should be updated with new specialized templates if exist. For instance, {{tl|LinkForumThread}} has not been applied to all forums post references.
** Complete synthesis info for pages in [[:Category:Synthesizable objects without synthesis reference]].
* Manage the {{#dpl:namespace=Rule|mode=userformat|resultsheader=%TOTALPAGES%}} pages under Rule namespace, which are shown in [https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex?prefix=&namespace=3794 this raw list] and [[list of cellular automata|this list in lexicographical order]]. There are at least these to be done:
** Remove all 2-state range-1 ruletables on the 2d square grid without icon specification, which were created in the pre-INT/MAP era and now should be registered in the LifeViewer aliase list. Also do similar things in the future according to updates of natively supported rule families.
** Is it possible to design a mechanism that automatically categorizes rules by neighborhood, num_neighbors, symmetries, n_states (num_states), num_nodes, etc, ''without modifying their individual pages''? The <tt>includematch</tt> in DynamicPageList is something close but not really working as it seems to rely on templates.
** There have been many Life-related rules with additional states for marking and modifying evolution, for instance [[Rule:LifeSuper]] and [[Rule:StateInvestigator]]. Make a list of these and compare them in terms of function of each state.
** Better yet, write comments for obscure rules to explain transitions, and identify reinventions/duplicates of rules.
* Miscellaneous stuff:
** {{tl|OscNumbers}} is a template to display on headers adjacent members in a family of numerical categories; an example in action can be seen at [[:Category:Oscillators_with_period_100]]. Probably it should be refactored to a more maintainable form. Some former instances are collected in [[:Category:Category navigation templates]], many of which use an old broken DynamicPageList syntax.
** [[Special:WantedPages]] lists non-existing pages that are linked to from at least one place. This list of "red links" may be helpful when looking for missing articles about [[LifeWiki:Notability|notable]] topics. Similarly, [[Special:WantedFiles]] lists missing files.
*** (Note: When editing any existing LifeWiki article, you can create a red link by linking to a non-existing page title. If you know about [[LifeWiki:Notability|notable]] topics that are currently missing from LifeWiki, feel free to create red links to the missing pages about such topics (so that other editors know the page is missing), even if you do not currently have time/resources to write those articles yourself; LifeWiki is an unfinished work-in-progress done by many people.)
** Finish the [[LifeWiki:FAQ]] page as per the suggestion on the Talk page, and add it to the links sidebar on the left.
** (added by [[User:Confocal|Confocal]] on 2023-08-18) How about creating [[LifeWiki:Community wishlist]] for unsolved questions / pattern engineering ideas / software ideas / etc. that are of interest to a significant fraction of the community?
** Write introductory articles for the [[LifeWiki:Articles]] sub-space; expand [[Tutorials]].
** Include more detail in a LifeViewer section of [[LifeWiki:Editor_pages|How to contribute]] about the various ways to make use of LifeViewer in articles.
* Fix this page: https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Dead_Patterns
** This is a page on patterns that result in nothing.

==Instructions==
===Working on a task===
# Look through list and see if anything appeals to you.
# If you can't figure out what a task means or if you're not sure how to do it, ask on the [[LifeWiki Talk:Task list|talk page]].
# Once you've picked something you would like to work on, go nuts! You do not need to mark this page to let others know that you intend to take care of that task.
# If you have completed a task, please remove it from the list.

===Adding a task===
Any editor can add a task to the page. If there's something that you think needs to be done on the site, add it! If you're not sure about your idea or would like feedback, add it to the [[LifeWiki Talk:Task list|talk page]] and ask for other editors to provide their opinion. Some things to keep in mind are:
* This page is supposed to list specific ideas for projects that editors can work on; more general to-do information is at [[LifeWiki:Helping out]]
* Don't add tasks that you are planning on finishing yourself in the near future (e.g., the next week or so); this is supposed to be for tasks that are available for other editors to work on.
* If in doubt, just go ahead and add it. Another editor might move it to a more appropriate place, but it's much better to add the idea so others know about it than to delay adding it because you're not sure where to put it.
