B2en3ain5iy/S2-a3-ar4

[Saka]

A rule I came up with that turns out to have cool things.
First off, a p20 camelship.

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 16, rule = B2en3ain5iy/S2-a3-ar4

Second, this p48 oscillator that I think can be used to make guns.

Well, that's what showed up when I was searching. Now that Apple Bottom's been doing some hauls these (And a few others) showed up

There you have it. I havent had much time to play around with this rule unfortunately. Things not found:
-yl that is not p4*n
-odd period oscillators
-more spaceships
-guns
-etc.

Despite this rule not having common gliders, I still think it's possible to build guns. Maybe a huge sparker that spits out that pi-esque spark, and than another one interacting with it?

I'm searching C1, D2_+1, and D2_+2. D2_+2 is taking ages because of the puffers.
EDIT: p16 that I'm surprised hasn't appeared:

Code: Select all

x = 17, y = 17, rule = B2en3ain5iy/S2-a3-ar4

And a p9 that I can't reduce because this rule is hard to stator-reduce:

Code: Select all

x = 14, y = 14, rule = B2en3ain5iy/S2-a3-ar4
3bobo$bo4b2o$5bobo2b2o$o3bobob2obo$3bobobo2bo$obob2o2bobo$bobo2b2obob

EDIT: There's a new puffer in town (also 16c/36), and I've tamed it into a two-engine spaceship:

Nice job drc. Do you think we can amke a gun out of those p48s and p24s and maybe a few others?

Nice job drc. Do you think we can amke a gun out of those p48s and p24s and maybe a few others?

Maybe there could be a shuttle that shoots a puffer out (probably the symmetric one), and then we line three of those up and shoot that ship out. The spark on the p24 and p48 is not sparky enough to yield a simple gun, but maybe a shuttle. Here's an example of how brittle the p48 is:

Code: Select all

x = 26, y = 5, rule = B2en3ain5iy/S2-a3-ar4
b3o$2obo18b3o$o2bo18bob2o$b3o18bo2bo$22b3o!

Right now a puffer-based spaceship seems the most viable for a gun.

[Saka]

This puffer's debris looks like a puffer engine:

-odd period oscillators

Quite a few of these by now -- periods 3, 5 and 7 in C1.

Also, an xp150 that's composed of an xp25 and an xp6 (and an extra xp2):

Code: Select all

EDIT:

Here's a nice statorless xp32 in D8_1:

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 13, rule = B2en3ain5iy/S2-a3-ar4
bo9bob$3o7b3o$bobo5bobob$2b2o5b2o2b$13b$13b$13b$13b$13b$2b2o5b2o2b$bob
o5bobob$3o7b3o$bo9bob!

Many more odd-period oscillators have showed up in higher symmetries as well, and at this point I'd wager a guess that the rule is omniperiodic.

EDIT 2:

And a pretty xp81 (which also has several other variants) in D8_4:

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 16, rule = B2en3ain5iy/S2-a3-ar4

And a ridiculous PATHOLOGICAL

There's a few of these -- either Catagolue isn't reproducing the sample soups correctly (very unlikely), or there's a bug in the hacked apgsearch script that causes these to be miscategorized.
