For the second one I was thinking about naming it jellyfish based on how it moves.

For the first one, I was thinking of a name that references the fact that it deletes some objects in front of it, using its strong central forward spark. Perhaps the Broom? Also, I think that while giving names to more significant objects is good, giving names to all objects isn't. Because of this,...

To start things off here are some nameless spaceships: Current Name: 114P6H1V0 - - - - - Current Name: 44P5H2V0 http://www.conwaylife.com/w/images/d/d0/114p6h1v0.gif http://www.conwaylife.com/w/images/b/b2/44p5h2v0.gif New Name: Bulldozer - - - - - - - - - New Name: TBD Current Name: 295P5H1V1 http:...

Project Alias: The goal of Project Alias is simple: name patterns. It started as I was looking through the lists of spaceships and oscillators and was disheartened to see how many lacked a name, instead they were stuck with a string of standardized letters and numbers. I believe that such patterns ...

It could be used to make some kind of fuse.

This might be a stupid question, but is there a way to turn the names of objects into the objects themselves? Go here That post not only has a script that turns canonised names into the objects, but there's a script to get previous soups from previous runs that generate objects you've encountered b...

I guess, but the real idea is something that produces a glider to start the reaction all over again.
It helps if you actually watch a replicollison.

If I'm not mistaken, there is no (trivial) Heisenburp reaction between gliders. I think I once did such a search with up to 3 gliders - but of course, it didn't cover all possible collisions. Does the "Heisenblinker" reaction count? x = 16, y = 6, rule = B3/S23 b2o11bo$obo10b2o$2bo10bobo$4b3o$4bo$5...

What if we found a replicollision that work on a sparser stream of gliders (or just a thinner field of derbies or both) that acted as sort of a transparent reaction (without deleting another glider)?

What if we found a replicollision that work on a sparser stream of gliders (or just a thinner field of derbies or both) that acted as sort of a transparent reaction (without deleting another glider)? It would replace the glider lost so it could grow quadratically. If something like this could be fou...

Do you mean infinite novelty?

I might, I'm talking about B3/S012345678.

I was thinking of parasite, but wouldn't that also describe a feature of life without death?

Interesting, indeed, the pattern starts to emit self-replicating collisions. I continued to run this, here's the result: a fourth "replicollision" (Do you have a better name?) appears at around 650K And a fith at around 1M250K. The third and the first replicollisions are damaged at aroung the same ...

It's definitely not a breeder. It's a one of multiple variants of a twin B-heptomino puffer, found in 1971. And I see nothing spectacular at generation 130,000. Oops, wrong pattern :oops: This should work a bit better: x = 110, y = 69, rule = B3/S23 9bobo$8bo2bo$7b2o$6bo$5b4o$4bo4bo6bo$4bo2bo5b2obo...

I'm not sure what to classify this as, but until someone suggests a better name I'm calling this a dirty MSS breeder. At first in this pattern's evolves nothing really interesting happens, until at generation 130,000 a sort of stationary puffer/replicator appears. As the pattern evolves more of thes...

I don't know if anyone else has found this but there are a lot of oscillators in LifeHistory that use the killer cell. These are some I've found by a manual soup search (literally selecting an area in golly and using Cnrl+5) EDIT: NOTE: The queen bee shuttle wasn't found this way. x = 95, y = 44, ru...
