Re: Virus (B36/S235)

After all these years I never thought such interesting things could be found in this rule. I thought it would just be all explodey and stuff. :P

Re: A new way to create line puffers

It seems like your custom side-supports can be shifted 4 pixels in (as long as that diagonal tail is below *correction: the outer pixel of the blinker in relation to the diagonal tail*) and still produce a functionally identical puffer (creating 3 more variations of moving left / right side in & mov...

Conquerors and Colonizers (B2ace3acei4ace5acei6ace/S)

Simple rule string that I created when messing around and it's very easily memorable. Any orthogonal line is a replicator and diagonal lines with ends capped with orthogonal lines are puffers. Diagonal masses form cities of sorts and the borders fight quite often. Sample Patterns: x = 15, y = 9, rul...

continuous motion of the center of the bounding box without changing polar theta as a vector expression = same direction otherwise = change in direction the first generation that forces a change in theta = the moment to calculate if that generation left the previous bounding box calculated in the sa...

Re: Create your own terminology

Pure diag ships dont qualify as the change in direction happens before completely leaving the bounding box. If they're high enough period they will leave the bounding box before their mod happens. For instance: #C robbed from a laudrypizza03 post on the 5s project x = 18, y = 18, rule = B2acn3ceqy5...

Re: Create your own terminology

That would severely limit cases where when changing directions, the ship has a different form per direction. (eg: ortho-diag 2-phaser zig-zag ships, 135-degree or 45 degree is ok either way; depending on angle, could be a net-ortho ship or a net-knight ship) Pure diag ships dont qualify as the chang...

3r apparently changes puffer output characteristics, at least from my rough investigation.

Prismatika Crystallios (B2ae3r/S1e)

This rule has so many interesting oscillator-spaceship dynamics. Symmetric diagonals die out but asymmetric diagonals oscillate between / and \. Puffers surprisingly exist for a rule like this. EDIT: Puffers are actually rather abundant in this rule. x = 117, y = 127, rule = B2ae3r/S1e 81b6o$75b6o6b...
