|-
|acorn
|methuselah
|expands, kicks out to the right side
|-
|brx46b
|methuselah
|very short-lived, doesn't do much
|-
|bunnies
|methuselah
|awesome, develops fast without expanding much, then explodes
|-
|centinal
|methuselah
|this is a big, expanding, perfectly-symmetrical pattern
|-
|century
|methuselah
|very short-lived, hard to do much with this
|-
|cheptomino
|methuselah
|very short-lived, relatively simple, but makes a few spaceships
|-
|dove
|methuselah
|surprisingly effective, big development in small area
|-
|eve
|methuselah
|ugly but effective
|-
|fred
|methuselah
|part of fred & wilma, good development in the center before spreading
|-
|grandpa_13629876
|methuselah
|takes some time to generate a decent ash field, left corner becomes important eventually
|-
|grandpa_305230
|methuselah
|takes some time, again a decent ash field, fades after 600 or so generations
|-
|grandpa_42100
|methuselah
|growth really accelerates with time
|-
|justyna
|methuselah
|good solid one
|-
|multum in parvo
|methuselah
|the worm
|-
|mustardseed
|methuselah
|growth increases with time, starts to really spread out
|-
|piheptomino
|methuselah
|not huge, not long-growing, but very small, effective for random placement with 8 or 10
|-
|rabbits
|methuselah
|interesting that we now have rabbits AND bunnies...
|-
|roseluck
|methuselah
|looks like it's going to die out, then gets a second wind, only lasts 400 gens or so, creates some spaceships
|-
|spaceshipgrower
|methuselah
|this is a good solid fast-developing pattern that throws out some gliders and is super tiny
|-
|switchengine
|methuselah
|solid, fast-growing, gradually-spreading pattern
|-
|timebomb
|methuselah
|nice efficient small pattern
|-
|twoglidermess
|methuselah
|perfect pattern. tiny, glider, mess, and it starts small and expands solidly with time
|-
|unidimensionalinfinitegrowth
|methuselah
|perhaps the simplest methuselah, dimension-wise, just a 1D string of cells... great for creating an ash field
|-
|wilma
|methuselah
|part of wilma & fred, square (looks like QR code), solid growth
|-
|wing
|methuselah
|very small, very fast-developing, not super effective but can rapidly change anything in its near vicinity

==spaceships, guns, rakes==

|-
|backrake2
|glider generator (moving - rake)
|this is the set of 3 or 5 puffers, one leaves a wake that the others turn into gliders
|-
|bisectingpuffers
|spaceship generator
|sends medium spaceships out to the left
|-
|coespaceship
|spaceship
|not very big, leaves a little puff of smoke at the back
|-
|flotilla_14wss
|spaceship
|fishhook spaceship, great tool for crashes
|-
|gosper_gun
|glider generator (static - gun)
|ping pong game that generates gliders
|-
|heavyweightspaceship
|spaceship
|there's nothing "heavy" about this one... the light/heavy spaceships are both small and floppy.
|-
|lightweightspaceship
|spaceship
|...rename to consolidate
|-
|middleweightspaceship
|spaceship
|...rename to consolidate
|-
|simkin_gun
|glider generator (static - gun)
|generates gliders up and to the right (might want to rotate 180 to be consistent with other guns)
|-
|spacebunnies
|spaceship generator
|similar to bisecting puffer, this makes a puffer ship while doing some methuselah stuff and making gliders
|-
|tagalong
|spaceship
|like the wickstretcher without the wick. big, slow-moving, horizontal spaceship
|-
|x66
|spaceship
|nice symmetric spaceship moving horizontally

|crabstretcher
|?
|crab that stretches a long strand of squares behind it
|-
|block
|still life
|just a regular ol square
|-
|cthulhu
|still life
|not much of note
|-
|wickstretcher
|?
|this is the "tagalong" spaceship, except it's weaving a web, and there's a base station catching the web behind it.
