In the game "Life" created the most complex organism that can multiply

    On Habré the unique two-dimensional mathematical universe Game of Life was already discussed - a space for creating cellular automata.

    So, a month ago there was a real revolution. Anonymous Canadian programmer Andrew Wade posted on the gaming forum the source code for the Gemini organism , which can multiply and move, destroying previous copies ( video ).

    According to experts of the game, there was nothing similar in Life before, and the body is unique in several respects and the most complex among its kind. The organism is a spaceship with three ready and one incomplete tentacle, one of which is designed to destroy previous copies of the ship. This is the first ship that moves neither orthogonally nor diagonally. He completely reproduces himself in 33,699,586 generations.
