Bubbles (B3ai4-a/S23)

[googleplex]

Bubbles is a rule I found, named because of this p21 oscillator:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 5, rule = B3ai4-a/S23
b3o$o3bo$o3bo$o3bo$b3o!

I named the oscillator the "Ehe" due to its apgcode.

The rule also has a 20c/64 puffer, a failed replicator:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 4, rule = B3ai4-a/S23
b3o$o3bo$o3bo$2bo!

two natural 10c/32s made from the block puffer:

Code: Select all

x = 39, y = 43, rule = B3ai4-a/S23

Also, countless dirty puffers can be made by combinations of puffers.
EDIT:
I wonder if a quadratic growth pattern exists with some combination of puffers?

You had me confused for a bit there; I thought this thread was about the variant B3ai4-aq/S23, which has had a lot of discussion on the Discord recently.

In particular, that variant has a backrake similar to the puffer in this one:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 9, rule = B3ai4-aq/S23
b3o$o3bo$o3bo$2ob2o3$2bo$b3o$obobo!

EDIT: I propose calling this variant QBubbles.

qBubbles also has a natural 12c/42 based on the back take, along with the 10c/32, a 4c/8 glide symmetric, and a SUPER weird growing spaceship that's actually a backrake crystal with a 12c/4464 (!) backend, along with several 5c/16 puffers. All on apgsearch (the growing ship is zz_replicator).

There's also a 4c/14 beehive wickstretcher and some p16, p32, and p62 oscs (one p16 is 2G synth able)
