From another list: Conway's life not only lives - now it can evolve.
Brent -------- Original Message -------- Dave Green has put together a replicator for Conway Life. He has several versions. The smallest, fastest, has a bounding box of 3.7M^2, and takes 89M ticks to make a copy. If I'm reading his description correctly, the population of ON cells is 150K, most of which is information-carrying gliders. Rich ----- Forwarded message The phase-shifted linear replicator is finally done -- several versions, actually, all using the same single-arm universal constructor and the same basic recipe. See http://conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1006&p=9908#p9901 The smallest pattern file is only 27K compressed, but the uncompressed macrocell file is almost 100K so I won't try quoting it here.
