Background
Note: This configuration was co-found by one of our fellow code golf enthusiasts, Zgarb
A 29 year old conjecture by John Conway about the Game of Life was recently solved.
To quote Conway from the linked article:
Indeed, is there a Godlike still-life, one that can only have existed for all time (apart from things that don’t interfere with it)?
That is, a configuration in the game of life that could not have evolved but, if it exists, must have been part of the game's starting condition?
The answer is yes, such still-lifes do exist, and the first one discovered looks like this:
Task
The challenge is simple: output this 22 by 28 primordial still-life as ascii text.
Fewest bytes wins.
Notes:
- You can choose any characters you like to represent live and dead cells.
- Trailing whitespace is allowed.
- Allowed loophole: If you discover a different primordial still life, you may output that.
Here it is with x
for dead and
for live:
