just go to Golly/Patterns/Self-Rep/JvN/counter-demo also, here's a more advanced counter: x = 36, y = 4, rule = JvN29 IpAMpAIpAIpA3IpA.pA.pA.pA.pA.pA.pA.pA.9I$JpAKpAKpAKL3.QRQRQRQRQRQRQRQ R$IpAIpAIpAJL$JpAKpAKpA2K! it outputs once every 256 (yes 256) inputs given to it.
Cool. I actually made a NOR gate.
