A spaceship discovered by Dean
Hickerson in August 1989. It was the first c/3 spaceship to be
discovered. In terms of its 25 cells, it is tied with 25P3H1V0.2 as
the smallest c/3 spaceship. Unlike 25P3H1V0.2, it has a population
of 25 in all of its phases, as well as a smaller bounding box.
Martin Grant discovered a glider synthesis for 25P3H1V0.1 on 6
January 2015.
Game of Life Explanation
The Game of Life is not your typical computer game. It is a cellular
automaton, and was invented by Cambridge mathematician John Conway.
This game became widely known when it was mentioned in an article
published by Scientific American in 1970. It consists of a grid of
cells which, based on a few mathematical rules, can live, die or
multiply. Depending on the initial conditions, the cells form various
patterns throughout the course of the game.
Rules
For a space that is populated:
Examples
Each cell with one or no neighbors dies, as if by solitude.
Each cell with four or more neighbors dies, as if by
overpopulation.
