wow! I think the guns are getting very good I think I could not make a better contribution as my only idea is to improve the guns using the semi snarks at least my insistence served to irritate you to the point of making a list update, this is a good thing (I think) :wink: I have to be careful not t...

Although with obvious design, Herik's p512 is improvement on the existing model in the collection, so I will add his gun first. Anyone with better smaller design than in the collection will also be added. 832p glider gun :P x = 83, y = 68, rule = B3/S23 42bo$42b3o$45bo$44b2o6b2o$51bobo$52bo2$46b2o$...

Well I suggest to add in the first post of this thread, all the improvements we find here of Jason's p14-1000 gun collection, because after p1000 it's too much even for me...

If they were so trivial, these gliders guns should be appear in the list and this is not the case. Unfortunately Paul Callahan's web pages are just an archive copy -- that list hasn't been updated in well over a decade, I believe. Jason Summers has the most recent version of this glider gun collect...

Of course they are trivial, because they are built from known components. I think the patterns I design are simple, but are not so trivial If they were so trivial, these gliders guns should be appear in the list and this is not the case According to your definition of trivial, everything was built ...

I think the challenges in this area are: 1. Update the collection of smallest glider guns, using the new discoveries. 2. Write scripts that create small guns (i.e. O(log(N)) of any arbitrary large period. well ... I had suggested a few models of glider guns that are not on this list : http://www.ra...

@Herik Yep You can implement the same idea with any "N state" Machine. This 3 multiplier requires a little bit more precise timing, and the "back shoot" glider should be timed more precisely, and should have 1 and 2 shoots option. But it's the same basic idea. I think the simplest to implement it's...

yes, I agree. starting with those parts is easy to build glider guns with long periods, but I had not found yet an easy way to do it before. So I developed this method (do not know if it's necessarily the best or easiest) is just a way of making it. http://imageshack.com/a/img856/4926/6lls.jpg 4096 ...

http://imageshack.com/a/img829/8143/p3y7.jpg :idea: using a pre existing 256p glider gun and a "glider period multiplicator" mechanism I built a glider gun 512p which can be used to build long periods gliders guns of binary base x = 51, y = 69, rule = B3/S23 31b2o$31b2o5b2o$38b2o3$7b2o8b2o17b2o$7b2...

even more simple version ... note the returning glider nullifies the action of the fourth counter in my opinion this is the shortest period of glider gun that can be achieved using a 60p glider gun and this mechanism to return the glider (1920 - 480 = 1440p ) x = 494, y = 436, rule = B3/S23 239bo$23...

All still-lifes up to 24 bits have been counted, but there has not, as yet, been any attempt to systematically list or count larger ones. Still, since there are over 4 million 24-bit ones, and each bit added increases the number by approximately 2.45, there should be around 6 trillion 40-bit ones a...

hello I've also been trying to develop ( for my personal use ) a technology of glider guns with periods multiple of 30 , modular, occupy the minimum possible space and have the shortest possible code.

This thread, while amusing, contributes nothing to our knowledge of Conway's Life. p30 technology has been developed ever since Conway's Life was invented . Our attention has now turned to Herschel loops/circuits and the replicator, which run on periods that are powers of two (the smallest commonly...

just asking, but why do you always use the 'tub with tail + block' instead of just a normal hook to eat gliders? you're right! :oops: I always try to build my patterns in the more compact form and in the simplest way possible and therefore has no reason to use anything other than a normal fishhook ...
