Mini Normal 2304: Conway's Game Of Life [GAME OVER!]

Swan

Swan is a c/4 diagonal spaceship producing some useful sparks. It was found by Tim Coe in February 1996. On February 20, 1996 Noam Elkies noticed that it could be made into a small boatstretcher. It can also be combined non-trivially with a Canada goose. In November 2000 Jason Summers found a period-8 glide-reflective tagalong for two swans. This was the first c/4 diagonal spaceship with a period other than period-4 to be found.

A version stretching a tub (instead of a boat as shown on the wiki) was called TIRETRAK.LIF in Alan Hensel's lifep pattern collection from the 1990s; this was at a time when PC-compatible computers running older versions of MS-DOS were still limited to eight-character filenames.

Eater 2

Eater 2 (or block on hat siamese hat) is an eater that was found by David Buckingham in the 1970s. Mostly it works like the standard eater (see eater 1) but with two slight differences that make it useful despite its size; it takes longer to recover from each bite and it acts like an eater in two directions. The first property means that, among other things, it can eat a glider in a position that would destroy an eater 1 due to the latter recovering too quickly before all of the sparks have cleared. This novel glider-eating action is occasionally of use in itself, and combined with the symmetry means that an eater 2 can eat gliders along four different paths.

An eater 2 variant noticed by Stephen Silver in May 1998 that is useful for obtaining smaller bounding boxes is shown below. Note that the canonical version of eater 2 is a strict still life because the outside 15-cell component is not stable without the block (it is, rather, an inductee), but the first two eater 2 variants below are pseudo still lifes (because the first is comprised of an aircraft carrier, block and hat, each of which are stable, and the second of a block on table and hat).

Eater 2 can also be used to eat objects other than gliders. For example, one of them can eat a lightweight or middleweight spaceship, two of them can eat a 60P5H2V0, and so on. Eater 2 catalysts can be found in many stable conduits such as RNE-19T84 and boojum reflector. Its symmetry is exploited in 35P12.1 and p196 pi-heptomino hassler.

It serves as the logo of Catagolue.

The canonical eater 2 ranks about 400th out of 45,759 in the list of 19-cell still lifes. This puts it barely in the top 1%.

204P41

204P41 is a period-41 oscillator found by Nico Brown on July 21, 2023, and is the first period-41 oscillator to be discovered. It was originally found as 208P41, and the blinker eaters were quickly reduced by two cells each.

Its discovery proved that Conway's Game of Life is omniperiodic.

Four copies of the dependent reflector loop can be used to stabilise the p41 wick.

Chris857 and Evin found a 106-glider synthesis of 208P41 the day of its discovery.

A p41 has been discovered about a week after the p19. Both I and the game slept through it however... Sorry for the gigantic image.

[sheepsaysmeep]

bah

[Invisibility]

hi

[sheepsaysmeep]

we should set a claim order

[Invisibility]

ok

[Invisibility]

how do we choose the order I've never actually orchestrated this

[Hu Tao]

Hello. I think it's mass claim time yes? I have a guilty and want everyone to claim so scum can't weasel their way out of the guilty with a fake claim

[sheepsaysmeep]

that post does not make sense to me

[sheepsaysmeep]

does your guilty impact what you would like the claim order to be

[Hu Tao]

It'll make sense when I claim my role and guilty. But I need everyone else to claim. Don't care on the order

[sheepsaysmeep]

Does this mean u would like to go last

[sheepsaysmeep]

I think u and invis should be at the front is my first instinct

[Hu Tao]

I'd like to go last or 2nd to last. I don't want scum partners to gambit

[sheepsaysmeep]

Alright sure

[sheepsaysmeep]

Wait hm

[Hu Tao]

Are you not willing to claim? If you don't have a guilty, you shouldn't be weary of anything

[sheepsaysmeep]

I thought about it and I think something

[Hu Tao]

Like?

[sheepsaysmeep]

im not a vt

and I think it means there must be mafia in hu tao / ???peregrine?????

because that would be like, a ridiculous number of town non-vanillas

[Hu Tao]

Is that a slip?
