I found this weird mover, consisting of two large movers escorting a duopeater:

Code: Select all

rle

My program found the large mover, and I found the duopeater-escorting by hand.

Unfortunately, this would have been found by my previous movesrc searches. I have searched for 25%-4 movers that width, and even though movesrc is not exhaustive per se it definitely would have found this. You are the first person to notice it though, and the duopeater reaction is yours. On another note, it can be done smaller (the reaction is slightly different):

Code: Select all

x = 49, y = 12, rule = B3/S23

i don't remember when/if this was discovered, but a square can help a weird rhombus looking thing (i was just messing around when i found it) delete ants from 2 different ways and even reflect! there's also a bunch of random stuff related to the weird rhombus, i'll call the thing attached to the rhombus an "arm" (Attachable to Rhombus and More)

this may have some use if it can delete other objects too. i'll be back with an edit to see if this can eat things like pi or car, at least partially.
edit: it can't eat mover or bird (haven't tried cardinal yet but i don't think it will). however, i had a serious stroke of dumb luck and found this:

A new period-6 repeater, found while testing a version of b3s23-repsearch written in Lua:

Code: Select all

x = 23, y = 9, rule = B3/S23

[Para]

p7 repeater:

Code: Select all

x = 17, y = 13, rule = B3/S23

Edit: p6

Code: Select all

x = 22, y = 15, rule = B3/S23

Found this eater using customperturb:

Nice! It seems to do the same reaction as another, known eater:

Code: Select all

x = 43, y = 23, rule = B3/S23

#C Edit: removed the unnecessary dot

After months of searching, I finally found a domino SPARK making repeater with 2 dots:

Code: Select all

x = 18, y = 12, rule = B3/S23

(This sparker is (re)discovered by me by WLS)
