Re: Spaceship Discussion Thread
Meanwhile, I'm sitting here struck by the similarity between generations 15 and 23 of the R-pentomino (and subsequent pairs of generations), for a possible 4c/8 side-sparker: rle I tried a few searches for a completion of this back in the day, when I wasn't any good at setting up searches, and obvi...

Re: Thread For Your Useless Discoveries
Also, I think that transparent objects technically have to lose all of their objects at once—or else a block performing the standard block catalysis from opposite sides and a loaf performing the following type of loaf catalysis would be considered transparent: rle I've typically seen people refer t...

Rule-minimal pattern projects
Last year, some of us over on the Discord had been working on a few related projects to find the smallest possible (by population) of several different types of patterns in every rule in various outer-totalistic rulespaces. I realize I've been a bit remiss in actually saying something about this on ...

Re: Fun facts
The first (2,1)c/3 spaceship found, with a population of 8 cells, was superseded by a smaller (6-cell) spaceship of the same speed in the same rule. (The record is now 5, which is the minimum possible...)

Re: Results of catalyst tests
How often do you suppose it will be useful? The glider predecessor is fairly common, but what are the chances of sparks behind it interacting with it in the right way? As is pretty much always the case with any catalyst I (or most likely anyone else) post, the particular active region I happen to u...

a bunch of entries Thank you so much for doing all this, your effort is so greatly appreciated!

I might suggest maki...

Re: Thread for your Trolls
Actually, Bellman might be able to turn up a stable catalyst. A stable catalyst seems highly unlikely — there don't seem to be any interactions that can occur with a still life that generate the correct domino spark, let alone restore the catalyst — but a p2 catalyst or a phase-shifting mechanism a...
