Made this prototype today, I call it Conway's game of breakout 😜

LR@TackerTacker clever. how many times has it happened yet that your ball got trapped?
@lritter
Never actually. But that is an interesting question 🤔
I think it can't happen since the only stable formation that self heals and can't be broken by the ball is a block of 4 which doesn't have a hollow space to get trapped inside of.
@TackerTacker the fact that you have the answer to this question gives me life - pun intended :)
@TackerTacker what about an arranged cluster of these self-healing structures? i assume reflection would ensure that the ball can escape, but i wonder if there's an arrangement that makes it particularly difficult - like a circular arrangement
@lritter
Currently I start the level like this.
The blocks at the bottom form a barrier that the ball can't break through on its own *.
The barrier has to be broken first by the 2 glider guns at the top left/right. So theoretically there could be a box or circle out of these 4 cell blocks that traps the ball.
(*unless it collision glitches through it and bounces so quickly that it destroys 2 of the cells before the next GoL tick can heal the 4 cell block)
