Instead of trying to lower the population of a pattern, like Blorpus, we make 1 pattern, decide what spaceship, and see how large we can make the pattern with a single one of that spaceship. When saying how much of an increase you got, you use the max population in both the original and the result. This would be how it went:
use LWSS.Code: Select all
x = 14, y = 17, rule = 3b3o$bob3o$obobo$o2bo7b2o$b2o7bo2bo$5b2o4b2o$5b2o2$o10b2o$o10b2o$o2$4b 2o$4b2o$10bo$9bobo$10bo!
And then the next person would see how much of an increase they could get, and then make a new one for the next person.I got +222Here's the next one (use a glider)Code: Select all
x = 32, y = 17, rule = 3b3o$bob3o$obobo$o2bo7b2o$b2o7bo2bo$5b2o4b2o15bo2bo$5b2o20bo$27bo3bo$ o10b2o14b4o$o10b2o$o2$4b2o$4b2o$10bo$9bobo$10bo!
Code: Select all
x = 26, y = 20, rule = 23bo$22bobo$3b2o18bo$2bo2bo$2bobo$3bo4b2o5b2o$9b2o3b2o8b2o$6bo2bobobo bo2bo5b2o$6b3ob2ob2ob3o$7bobobobobobo$8b3o3b3o8bo$25bo$2o6b3o3b3o8bo$ 2o5bobobobobobo$6b3ob2ob2ob3o$6bo2bobobobo2bo$9b2o3b2o$8b2o5b2o5b2o$22b obo$23b2o!
Try the second one from the example (the one with a pulsar) with a glider! :D
(also, please let me know if you think of a better name!!)
