It's based on Game of Life but it uses a different set of rules. You can find details about a ruleset similar to this here: https://conwaylife.com/wiki/OCA:3-4_Life
In the bottom-right corner of the game, there is a question mark. If you put your cursor over it, it shows a representation of the rules. Or are you saying that you saw that and didn't understand it?
...wait, that's how you make a diagonal glider? i found the horizontal glider quickly, and i found the almost-square part of the diagonal glider (which makes a glider-esque oscillator on its own) so many times and tried so many variations on it, but apparently i didn't try that... ;v;

Neat little game as always ! I donβt understand how these are not disappearing
Thanks! The rules have a little detail where units that are completely alone stay around. It's not really consequential in any way, though.

Yeah, they're a little different. Check the question mark in the corner for details.
i dont understand that

i don't understand the rules :<
I didn't understand it
i decided to figure out the rules myself by making patterns with each possible survival and birth condition.
then i clicked the ?
No. I refuse to play Hempuli's game of life. 10/10 though.
I am sorry for the people using touch pads
painful, but manageable once I fumbled my way into figuring out both orthogonal and diagonal gliders
two in one month! it's happening again...

Why grid rules when life rules do trick?
Don't know if it's intentional or not, but you can place a cell next to a skull so long as it dies on turn one and it will not turn into a skull

who solved this?
you can solve it with the gliders people posted about a few comments down! also, someone posted a walkthrough above ^^

Horizontal glider
or more compact
...wait, that's how you make a diagonal glider? i found the horizontal glider quickly, and i found the almost-square part of the diagonal glider (which makes a glider-esque oscillator on its own) so many times and tried so many variations on it, but apparently i didn't try that... ;v;
What are you sorry for?

Is this the real life?
It might be just fantasy
caught in a puzzle, no escape from thinking
or just Conway's?
Oh that's a solid joke
I was actually a little disappointed when I figured out it wasn't conway's game of life. The glider strat doesn't work :(
I didn't know it beforehand but there is actually a Game of Life wiki page for (almost) this exact ruleset: https://conwaylife.com/wiki/OCA:3-4_Life
You can find gliders for this setup there :)
but this works in conways game of life
