A new oblique spaceship has appeared in a C1 soup for the rule B38/S23.
It travels at a rate of (5,2)c/190 and has a minimum population of 33 cells.

(Limited to C1 soups so far, BTW? Putting in the Copperhead's code yields nothing.)

/b3s23/D2_2 should work.

The feature has existed for ages; that's how the Twitterbot knows who produced which discoveries. It only works if the haul still exists, and causes the haul to be permanently saved from deletion. Also, for b3s23/C1, it updates user pages to reflect the discoveries.

[muzik]

D2_2

That, uh, doesn't exist.

[Apple Bottom]

/b3s23/D2_2 should work.

Hmm, nope, no luck there. I've tried all of D2_2, D2_+2 and D2_%2B2, but none worked.

It does work for D8_4, though. And for D4_+4 as well, so it's not the plus sign that's the problem.

Of course all the D2_+2 copperhead hauls have been deleted, so it's probably that? (Pity, though, I was hoping it would be able to spit out a list of sample soups across all sorts of symmetries, or even rules, like this:

Code: Select all

B3/S23/D8_4: Soup m_MvACu4uhtzaP5980444 is owned by thunk

and likewise for objects that have occurred across different rules, such as the Coe ship.

The feature has existed for ages; that's how the Twitterbot knows who produced which discoveries. It only works if the haul still exists, and causes the haul to be permanently saved from deletion. Also, for b3s23/C1, it updates user pages to reflect the discoveries.

Ah, neat, I'd been wondering how it did that. Where does it get the new discoveries themselves from, BTW?
