OCA:HighLife/List of common spaceships
Revision as of 02:28, 11 July 2019 by Ian07 (talk | contribs) (→See also: List of common oscillators in HighLife)
This is a list of the most common spaceships in HighLife, specifically Catagolue's B36/S23/C1 census. The patterns in this table beyond row 5 are only approximately ranked, as they all occur very infrequently so it is difficult to generate accurate estimates of their occurrence. The approximate relative frequency column gives an estimate of the proportion of all randomly-occurring spaceships that will be of the given type.
Rank | Pattern | Period | Heat | Speed | Minimum # of cells | Approximate relative frequency (out of 1.00) | % Difference in frequency from Life |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Glider | 4 | 4 | c/4 diagonal | 5 | 0.9963 | -1.80% |
2 | Lightweight spaceship | 4 | 11 | 2c/4 orthogonal | 9 | 0.002442 | +63.78% |
3 | Bomber | 48 | 38.4 | 8c/48 diagonal | 19 | 0.0005962 | - |
4 | Middleweight spaceship | 4 | 15 | 2c/4 orthogonal | 11 | 0.0005886 | +53.20% |
5 | Heavyweight spaceship | 4 | 19 | 2c/4 orthogonal | 13 | 0.00006536 | -2.10% |
6 | [1] | 192 | 138.5 | 32c/192 diagonal | 54 | 2.047×10-9 | - |
[2] | 384 | 150.8 | 64c/384 diagonal | 53 | 2.047×10-9 | - |
