Conway's Game of Life
Hey, a couple of months ago, I've read about Conway's Game of Life. Since then, I've been exploring the game and related cellular automata.
Guidelines:
Use 0 for dead cells.
Use 1 for live cells.
Put patterns in code tags.
Please label your patterns.
For large patterns, you can retrieve them from LifeWiki.*
All Life formats (RLE, MCell, Plaintext, SOF, Life 1.05, and Life 1.06) are accepted.
Example:
B-heptomino
Here, you can discuss what you've read about Life and other Life-like cellular automata.
*Be careful, LifeWiki does not feature every pattern you might want to discuss.

Please label your rule in S/B or B/S notation, and name your rule if possible.
Example 1:

Example 2:
245/368 (Move)Jellyfish0100

Example 3:
B3567/S15678 (Bugs)Big blinker (works in all rules with B3 and S5 and without B0, B1, B2, or S3, for a total of 4096 rules, from B3/S5 to B345678/S01245678, such as 2x2 and Move)1111

alive.ba dum psssh They almost seem
I like Life
It's better than the Milton Bradley Game Of Life that's for sure

Are you talking about glider syntheses?

Not really
Sometimes I make a big mess of cells
let it run for a bit
pause
then crash a glider into it!

Lucidlife is a great simulater. It also comes with several preloaded automata.

After 1103 generations… Ah yes. CGoL is quite general, why not just a cellular automata topic?
I've been writing a simulator for it in Scratch. It supports custom rules, and turns out, the R-pentomino becomes an oscillator in B3/S23.

No, with the rule B3/S23 it /is/ an oscillator. And, in CGoL, it actually diminishes into a soup that “has 116 cells and consists of eight blocks, six gliders, four beehives, four blinkers, one boat, one loaf, and one ship,” not an oscillator.After 1103 generations… Ah yes. CGoL is quite general, why not just a cellular automata topic?

i invented Conway's Game of Checkers once. We were really bored
Rules
1. Set up checkers as normal
2. Move a checker as normal
3. Change the whole board like Conway's Game of Life
4. Go back to step 2 w/ other player
5. If a player runs out of checkers they lose

If someone could recommend a good web-based or iOS version, then that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

This game is so easy, I beat it in like first grade.
