Victoria McPherson is a brilliant young FBI agent who's investigating a serial murder case. The body count is at five and there's a lack of leads and a mountain of evidence. Translate Still lifes with game. See Spanish-English translations with audio pronunciations, examples, and word-by-word explanations. Still Life: With Claudia Besso, Mark Camacho, Sven Eriksson, Holly Gauthier-Frankel. A young FBI agent is on the trail of a brutal serial killer. She discovers that her grandfather worked on a very similar case in Central Europe more than half a century earlier.
An oscillator is a pattern that flips back and forth between a set number of periods but will never grow or die. Most patterns end up forming these along with still lifes. The simplest oscillators are period-2 oscillators, which only have two varying states. The period has the same meaning as the period of a sinusoidal wave. Oscillators with as many as 100 periods are known to Life enthusiasts. Parts of an oscillator can be described using motor terminology: the rotor, the stator, the bushing and the casing. The Rotor consists of the cells that change from generation to generation. The Stator consists of the cells that never change (including the important dead cells). The bushing is the part of the stator that borders on the rotor, and affects its function. The Casings are those cells that do not play a part in the Rotor's oscillation, but are needed to provide stability. Click here for more information.
The most common oscillator is the blinker that appears in numerous Life games. A complete list of period-2 oscillators is available on the internet.
This is a list of the most commonstill lifes in the Game of Life, specifically Catagolue's B3/S23/C1 census. The minimum known glider synthesis, as of April 2020, of each still life is also displayed. The 'approximate relative frequency' column gives an estimate of the proportion of all randomly-occurring still lifes that will be of the given type.
This table only includes strict still lifes and thus does not count objects like honey farms.
