Question

Can anybody tell me what is the seed for spacefiller pattern in Conway's game of life ? I am planning to include some interesting patterns for user in my game.

Thanks much,

Was it helpful?

Solution

From Golly, a really nice Sourceforge Game-of-Life project with a huge number of seeds:

                    ███   ███
                   █  █   █  █

OTHER TIPS

I believe you are referring to the glider pattern?

One of the frames looks like;

010
001
111

I believe missKK is looking for a Conway's Game of Life pattern that will, if placed in empty space, fill the space with an agar. Although new Life patterns are discovered all the time, as of today the smallest known pattern is Tim Coe's "Max", a 187-cell pattern which fits in a 27x27 bounding box:

#N Max
#O Tim Coe
#C A spacefiller that fills space with zebra stripes.
