Line agars
| Agar | density | period | stable | notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zebra stripes | 1/2 | - | B (1) | alternating bands of live and unoccupied cells (ripples(2)) |
| Venetian blinds | 1/2 | 2 | B | phoenix made of fat ripples, varying only longitudinally (2) |
| Chicken wire | 1/2 | 2 | B | "wires" that can have any length, at least 2, and need not all be the same |
| Diagonal ripples | 7/20 | - | S | ripples, stable (and progenitor of tubs and barges) when double ; most vanish instantly |
- S, stable ; B, must be bordered ; for common borders see Dean Hickerson's list DRH_oscillators.rle.
- Cross sections following Wolfram's Rule 22.
Tiling agars
| Agar | tile size | box | density | period | stable | notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Onion rings | 72 | 12*12 | 1/2 | B | unit cell composed of nested squares (4n x 4n) | |
| Marshland agar | 4 | 3*3 | 4/9 | S | build of ponds and lakes, that is, dominos ; many possible combinations, only basic ones go squared | |
| Houndstooth agar | 8 | 4*4 | 1/2 | 2 | B | really the pattern of a known checquered twill |
| Herparian agar | 12 | 6*6 | 1/3 | S | lakes made of snakes acting like dominos ; only the most basic give a square tiling | |
| Squaredance | 8 | 6*6 | 2/9 | 2 | B | period 2 diagonal agar and phoenix, low density dominos pattern |
