A list of the first-discovered oscillator of each period, as well the current smallest-known oscillator of that period, is provided here. Note that only non-trivial oscillators are considered here, in the sense that there must be at least one cell that oscillates at the full period. In some cases, it is not known for certain what the first-discover...
Oscillator at the Life LexiconFlipper at the Life LexiconMany patterns in the Game of Life eventually become a combination of still lifes, oscillators, and spaceships; other patterns may be called chaotic. A pattern may stay chaotic for a very long time until it eventually settles to such a combination.

Jan 18, 2024 · Lovers of the game have tallied and taxonomized these patterns in an ever-expanding online catalog. Conway discovered a pattern called the blinker, which oscillates between two states. The next year, he found a much more complicated pattern called the pulsar, which oscillates between three different states.
Oscillators of many more periods exist: Glider A glider is a simple 5-cell pattern that repeats itself every 4 generations, but is offset diagonally by one cell. The smallest and most common spaceship. The glider is going to be extremely important when we discuss applications of the Game of Life.
Many different types of patterns occur in the Game of Life, including static patterns ("still lifes"), repeating patterns ("oscillators" - a superset of still lifes), and patterns that translate themselves across the board ("spaceships").
