Regarding [https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?title=Rectifier&diff=131488&oldid=131486 this edit], I think pauses are useful. Without pauses, the glider appears out of nowhere and immediately starts moving, which is non-intuitive. I think it's much easier to understand what happens if the patterns stays non-animated for some time. [[User:Confocal|Confocal]] ([[User talk:Confocal|talk]]) 06:43, 26 May 2023 (UTC) | |||

Uses
Why don`t I ever see this OR the boojum reflector in patterns? Why do I always see two pentadecthalons or a figure eight, a boat, and an block? -wwei23 11:58AM 10/4/2015 NY time

- The reason the snakes are used on the eater 3 is to minimize the bounding box. Minimal bounding boxes are typically considered more important than minimal cell counts when dealing with stable technology.

Removal of pauses
Regarding this edit, I think pauses are useful. Without pauses, the glider appears out of nowhere and immediately starts moving, which is non-intuitive. I think it's much easier to understand what happens if the patterns stays non-animated for some time. Confocal (talk) 06:43, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
