Thread for your unsure discoveries

[confocaloid]

I am not sure if this has been discovered before, but it seems like a simple oscillator.

Code: Select all

 x = 3, y = 1, rule = B3/S23
3o!

It is the blinker, the smallest oscillator in Life.

I apologize for the unnecessary post, but I wondered what the general response would be if someone posted the blinker in this category.

In other words, that was basically a post "to see how others would feel to the phenomenon" or "just to see how they would respond"?

I believe such posts are generally nonproductive. Instead of contributing, one tries to "trick" others into some situation. I would not want to see this place descend into remaining users trying to trick each other.

Sorry. I will spend some time looking for topics for my uses.

I found a quasi pure H precursor (may I use predecessor instead ?).
It just sends a glider before forming the pure H.

The output glider will be a NW-21T-1 if I well calculated.

Edit:
It's also a B predecessor with junks which delete the natural block and produce a glider.

I apologize for the unnecessary post, but ...

The bad news is that this thread is so cluttered with trivial "discoveries", that your post fits perfectly.
As for your "burner" account, I suggest you to use another one, as many users have the policy of banning out such "contributors", in order to filter out the noise in the forum.

The reaction ( from 4G to 5G ) takes 70 ticks. Possible developments from here. among others:

- faster reactions
- fewer input/output streams ( here is 3/2 )
- other "over-unity" reactions: nG to (n+1)G. I think that this one can be solved by brute force, we all know the 2G collisions, none of them produces - cleanly - 2 or more G. I don't know what happens with all the 3G collisions.

Messy & slow 2G to 4G, (NE,SE=>2xNE,SE,SW ), in 294 ticks with a lot of unsettled ash:

Hello, and welcome to the forums!

Just a quick note about "viewer" tags. Generally, the community tends to prefer if "code" tags mostly get used instead of "viewer" tags. "code" tags are the ones you get when you select some RLE and hit the </> button on the Edit toolbar.

Now, it's currently very hard for a newcomer to figure this out right away, unless they happen to have read the forum rules unusually early, all the way down to Rule 5a.

I've just sent a suggestion to Nathaniel (our admin) to see if we can't improve the GUI a little bit, maybe by hiding the "viewer" tag and/or changing the "</>" button to say something like "code/RLE" instead.

I ran a script on 3gdata.txt, looking for collisions which after 16384 ticks evolve to a set of spaceships (without stationary ash), with resulting population greater than 5 and not equal to 10. There were only seven "maybe good" results, all of which make xWSSes:

Thanks! . Apologies in advance, but I remain uncertain as to if the reflector is known.

Removing another four columns and four rows looks possible, by JLS-ing some N-tick predecessor of the area marked in pink, that's a row or two less obtrusive.

Hi i'm really new to this, but i found an interesting pattern that creates a zig zag of squares on its way.

Im not sure if it's discovered yet (i bet it is) but i thought it's kinda funny
I'm not sure whether the two squares on the top right could be removed or not.

https://ibb.co/S01mG3C


edit:
It creates something like this.
I don't really know what the parent pattern should look like.

[hotdogPi]

That's a block-laying switch engine. It's surprising that you found one — I've still never seen it naturally, even though I know they exist.

Welcome of the forums!
You rediscovered a known but extremely rare to find by hand pattern called the switch engine. Well done if you found it that way, even though it is a re-discovery.
