Old school p60 glider loop with non-destructive read

Post by pcallahan » April 2nd, 2019, 3:53 pm

I was playing around with gencols trying to see if there is a p30 glider duplicator (1 in/2 out) based on a gunless configuration of queen bee shuttles and pentadecathlons. I am sure I looked for this before but I don't know the outcome (if would be in old Life list archives). Anyway, I found converters between gliders and LWSS, which I also believe are not new (the LWSS to glider may not have been used in a pattern). This can be assembled into a recirculating p60 glider loop (p30 won't work) representing some large numbers of bits that I did not bother to count or optimize and the LWSS part of the loop provides non-destructive read ability.

Sandbox because this is old tech.

Code: Select all

x = 324, y = 304, rule = B3/S23
