Conway's Game of Life - I must have done something right.

NOTE: Used a pattern I found on the internet, and modified it. ( knb345s126a.lif )

I must have done something right.
Been playing with the program for a few days now, but didnt hit any good pattern that could live on for many generations, till now ^^ Posting it because I couldnt find anything on YouTube that looked like it.

It looks like modified rules.

Never changed anything. But after some time I started to think about the program being bugged. Got the same result with an other pattern.

This MAY be 3-4 Life, an "alternate reality" . Conway rejected it as patterns tended to become space-fillers. THIS simple 6-bit pattern generated a churning agar, a spacefiller

There may be cyclic activity in the core, but there seems to be no 3-4 Life program, I can't check it.

Oh noes overpopula.. HOLY SHIT

Doesn't work.

This seems to be run on winlife.

Conway's game got me into computers 25yrs ago, I still think it's facinating.

Just in case you're still looking. A good test case for your code is "Gosper's Gun", there's a WP page describing it and a diagram of the start position. IIRC it uses the original rules which are listed on the WP page "Conway's game of life".

These are modified rules, definitely.

I am 99.9% sure that you messed up the rules/math/logic at some point. I had to look at and change the way mine were set up at least 5 times before it was correct.
