    Out of boredom I tried a few things with GoL gliders and ships, and found some interesting. So I issue you a challenge.

    Using which ever ruleset I issue you, make the fastest or slowest spaceship you can.
    You will be given either GoL, HLIF, 2x2, DANI, AMOE, MOVE, PGOL, DMOE, 34, SEED or MYST.
    All these rulesets are capable of forming gliders, I've cheked it myself. So no moaning.

    The minimum size is 12x8. (upped from 8x8 to give a bit more challenge)

    DON'T COPY FROM ANYWHERE :P

    Puffers will be disqualified.

    All parts must interact with each other, so no putting 2 gliders together and calling it a ship (dikzak) :P

    All spaceships must move left to right.

    I will race all entries on 30-Jan-11. If you win you get bragging rights :P

    a better challenge would be the SLOWEST ship you can make with each rule, as most of the rules have a speed limit of one pixel over two frames, and SEED which goes at 1 pixel per frame.

    I don't think people can make a GoL ship, most of them are already discovered, and if you submit them, it is copying

    this 34 thing is hard to keep from eating everything... unless, muahahahahaha! Can i eat the other contestants?

    If not then here's my unique and predictable entry:
    Which ship do I use?
    LoadSaveBlock(124425);

    I also threw in my favorite GoL ship, it discovered in 2009, it is slow compared to the hugo34 Ship

    obviously its going to be hard to come up with something original, but I know there's a lot more than the ones on the wiki... you can eat what you want with it :P

    Remember the minimum size...

    Okay... so if it stretches to the right, then its okay, or does it have to leave its original position?

    LoadSaveBlock(124468);
Locked by antb: It finished an age ago and there wasn't enough interest.
