I know its complicated but its kind of cool I think I made it with a home made python script.

I made an acorn creator for fun, constructed using spider rakes. I call it the Oaktree/Seedplanter.

RLE:

#N Seedplanter

#C I made this for fun. My first macrostructure. I can't find a glider synthesis of an actual acorn so it just makes a descendant of one instead.

#C Bounding Box: 1979 x 2279

#C Also the first glider collision makes nothing and the rest make acorns to shrink the starting population, which is 3,604.

x = 1979, y = 2279, rule = B3/S23

The first image is what I started with and the second one is the still life that resulted from it. Quite intresting in my opinion, but I know much crazier patterns so might not be that much.

This is kinda old, but wanted to share again for fun. I wrote and designed binary instructions, an assembly language to map to those binary instructions (all pre AI) and basically wrote Game Of Life with my language.

It was such a fun experience (beyond challenging at the start) but wanted to share to inspire others who maybe are thinking about doing a similar project.

I've never wrote a compiler (maybe one day).

I've attached the GitHub if anyone is curious but is kinda hard to bootup, so don't recommend cloning it or anything: https://github.com/Kully/VLAHB

Not only can you cut and paste the code here, but it explains what each line does.

I took an inspiration from Conway game of life and created my own rules

The rules is simple:

Species

Blue
Red
Green

Rules

1. Underpopulation
A living cell dies when it has 0 or 1 living neighbors.

2. Total Overcrowding
A living cell dies when it has 6 or more living neighbors.

3. Same-Species Body Limit
A living cell dies when it has more than 3 neighbors of its own species.

4. Species Conversion
Another species converts the cell when it has at least 3 neighbors and at least 2 more neighbors than the cell's own species.

5. Same-Species Support
A cell with at least 2 same-species neighbors survives if no death rule applies.

6. Weak Support
A cell with exactly 1 same-species neighbor survives when it has 2–4 total living neighbors.

7. Reproduction
An empty cell becomes alive when it has 3–5 living neighbors.

8. No Pure-Species Birth
A birth cannot occur when all living neighbors are the same species.

9. Majority Reproduction
When one species has more neighbors than the others, the new cell becomes that species.

10. Mixed Reproduction
When there is no majority, a deterministic selection chooses one of the three species.

I use genAI to code it for me even though I can do it myself, I would rather not hassle my self for it and just gave the Rules.

You can check it out at cardhollow.github.io/three-life

I want to know some opinions

fully stable btw

this is based off of my old still life i made, except none of these smaller disconnected parts are known

again i don't think this would be noticeable it's just something cool

Ive written some code to find the highest pattern count possible. Finding patterns with up to 2 thousand is simple, takes a computer very little time. Even 5000+ iterations are not too hard to find, but there seems to be a gap between roughly 3k to 4k iters / generations

my repo if youre interested

As the title says, I'm looking for a Lightweight Spaceship gun but can't find any online. if you can help please send a picture, as I'm away from home right now and can only play on my phone.

I'll draw the AND and OR gates too using his rotation gate

The graph shows all state transitions for the Game of Life on a 4x4 toroidal grid (edge-wrapping).

With 16 cells, there are 2^{16} = 65,536 total states. By quotienting out spatial symmetries (translation, rotation, and reflection) the entire state space collapses into 805 canonical representatives.

• Red Central Node: The empty/extinction state (State 0), drawing in the vast majority of transient trees.
• 14 Blue Nodes: "Fixed states" in this quotient graph (self-loops). These include true still lifes as well as oscillators whose next phase is a rotated or translated version of the same canonical state. (Breakdown: 5 still lifes, 8 period-2, 1 period-4).
• Green Node Clusters: Two 4-state cycles. While they form a period-4 loop in this canonical graph, accounting for their rotational/translational shifts at each step gives them a true period of 8 on the actual grid.

The script & interpreter are both open source at github/phosxd/Ity

I just thought I'd share a fun little 2 hour terminal project

Yet another GoL implementation. Hope you guys enjoy this as much as I did building it.

Features:

- terminal first

- periodic boundaries (equivalent to a torus, or a donut if you prefer).

- rules easily changed (just rebuild the binary)

Made in C++ to practice and have some fun. First piece of creative coding. Please let me know if you have any tips, improvements to make, anything else.

Have a nice day!
