Anybody know some interesting patterns for Conway's game of life?

Question

I'm not looking for just their names, I want to know the position of the active cells in it, so that I can actually see something besides a brief description of what it does :-/

Thanks

P.S. I'm talking about standard life rules:

1. Any live cell with fewer than two neighbours dies, as if by loneliness.
2. Any live cell with more than three neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding.
3. Any live cell with two or three neighbours lives, unchanged, to the next generation.
4. Any dead cell with exactly three neighbours comes to life.

Also, on a standard 2 dimensional grid with only dead or alive cells.

Answer 1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conways_Game_of_Life. This article contains some interesting patterns. There have been books on this subject, and many contests. One objective was to make a pattern that would end up as a self replicating figure, lasting indefinitely. The references in that article will give you plenty to investigate.

Answer 2

I dont know, but this seems an interesting game. Thank you for teaching me something
