February 14: Carson Cheng discovers a 6-glider synthesis of amphisbaena, showing that every 11-cell still life can be synthesized with 6 or fewer gliders.ĦMB.February 15: Keith Amling completes a c/4 diagonal maximum-density multi- tubstretcher based on a wave by Hartmut Holzwart.



February 21-22: The first occurrence of the 15-cell still life xs15_321e88gzxca1 appears in a random soup found by Charity Engine.February 26: Goldtiger997 finds the activation step for a spacefiller synthesis.March 2: Mitchell Riley discovers a record-breaking small period-52 gun.March 6: iNoMed discovers and Matthias Merzenich slightly reduces a record-breaking small period-68 gun based on a new oscillator by Mitchell Riley.that despite MWSSes being larger and only about one quarter as common as LWSSes, it is currently easier to convert a glider signal into the former than the latter? that stable reflectors were known to exist for over two decades before the first was created? that the first gliderless Gosper glider gun puffer was created in March 2022? that although there are no known elementary stable 5x pulse dividers, any glider stream with a constant period can be divided by five? that any glider-constructible pattern can theoretically be made with at most forty-seven initial cells, thanks to the reverse caber-tosser mechanism? that the O quad-loaf, the most common 28-cell still life, is over 750 times more common than the second most common 28-cell still life? that a $50 prize for the Unique Father Problem, offered by John Conway in Lifeline Volume 6 in 1972, went unclaimed for almost fifty years until Ilkka Törmä found a solution on the last day of 2021? that it was unknown whether there existed an unbounded sequence of patterns with great N-grandparents but no great N+1 grandparents, until Ilkka Törmä and Ville Salo constructed a solution to this extended grandfather problem in early January 2022? that the 39-cell LWSS-on-LWSS variant of the Schick engine was the smallest known period-12 spaceship for about fifty years, until the discovery of 35P12H6V0 in February 2022? zip archive containing approximately 75 pattern files for other cellular automata

Charity Engine also finds a second occurrence of this still life less than 24 hours later. The Game of Life, also known simply as LIFE, is a board game originally created in 1860 by Milton Bradley, as The Checkered Game of Life.
