Growing spaceships

Aren't puffers degenerate cases of growing spaceships where the back end moves at c/Infinity? -wwei23 10:12PM 9/30/2015 NY time

Yes, of course. To the same extent as a still-life is a degenerate breeder. Codeholic (talk) 06:13, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

And to the extent that an oscillator is a 0c spaceship. -wwei23 3:34PM 6/3/2017 NY time

New puffer I found

I don't know where to put this, but I seem to have found a puffer made of 2 glider puffers and a blinker puffer. It may be used because it creats ash that interupts the front stream of gliders at certain intervals:

a_n=44+175(9^n+1)

Where n>3. I was thinking of putting 2 one-time eaters (blocks, perhaps) at the first two intervals (gen 165, gen 1535), then making a c/8 spaceship interact with the gliders.

Again, I don't know if this is notable, but the RLE is at [1]

Thanks, and let me know if this is in the wrong section --2x2 (talk) 18:22, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Because the four streams of debris keep modifying each other, I believe that anything can happen here. I've already seen a middleweight spaceship come from the debris. -wwei23 3:32PM 6/3/2017 NY time
