Here is the list of familiar fours:

Flock (four duplets):

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3/S12
3o$obo$3o!
Radiator (four dominoes):

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 7, rule = B3/S12
$bo$bobo2$o$b2o!


And here's a section of a random 50/50 soup I generated in golly, containing the p14 "Tetris Shuttle":

Bump because I'm still at a loss for creating tagalongs. Here is the main post about it for reference:

Currently apging the hell (as much of a hell as you can get from apgsearch 1.1 on a cheapish computer) out of this on C1. Currently spaceships (specifically the diagonal one) have only been found on the symmetrical rules.

Can a few other people, preferably with a better apgsearch version than me, please search this rule on C1 as well? I want to verify that spaceships indeed can emerge from asymmetric soups.

I usually average around 1000 per second on 1.1, which is kind of healthy considering my mediocre specs. Neat thing is it takes about 1 kilosecond (16 minutes 40 seconds) to submit a haul of 1 millions soups.

Can't wait until I can figure out how to get mera to work

In all seriousness though, old versions of the 3DS have been exploited, so that might be possible, although not very useful.

This makes me wonder: what devices could actually support apgsearch? Would an android app be possible? An iOS one would be pretty hard to work out, and as such probably won't exist too soon.

Back on topic, how come we haven't seen a natural p3 in c1 yet? We have plenty p6es, which rely on p3 and p2 rotors, so really it shouldn't be way too far away.

Finally got mera to work, and it looks like I've got better specs than you. 32000 or so soups/second.

Can a ship or an extremely exotic oscillator or a 47 cell still life just turn up already?

We now have some p3s!

Next thing to look for would be a natural p28 (Tetris shuttle + p4) or p42 (Tetris shuttle + p3) or p18 (p9 + p2) or anything else really.



So here's a reaction that could possibly be tamed into an oscillator if the dominos can get regenerated somehow:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 6, rule = B3/S12
7bo$7bo$2bo$3b2o$o$o!
which would give what appears to be a p26. Although it probably won't be too small, if it was we should probably have seen one already

b3s12/C1 is now the third most searched rule (after b3s01367, which it probably won't surpass any time soon), and yet still no natural spaceship...
