Eli5: What is a spaceship in John Conway game of life?
In: Mathematics
A spaceship is a pattern of dots that appears to “move” across the grid on successive ticks. It’s not really part of the game, in that there are bo rules to describe these objects, and, indeed, every tick involves different dots from the last tick. And yet, you can spot them pretty easily obce you know what to look for. The simplest example is the glider, which moves diagonally.
