... I just noticed that there is a problematic spark 8 tics after the initial interaction, it is even less likely to be possible to have a p8 reflector. The only option left is this: x = 44, y = 26, rule = LifeHistory 4$9.A19.A$8.A.A17.A.A$8.BA2B16.3AB$9.2B18.2A$9.3B17.3A$2.2A5.4B9.2A5. B2AB$4.A2.6B...

Here is a corrolary of that p6 reflector, a p42 glider loop. (aka barely under snark recovery p43 loop) x = 96, y = 96, rule = LifeHistory 78.2A3.2A$77.A2.A.A2.A$76.A2.2A.2A2.A$77.2A5.2A$79.5A$79.A.A.A$35.A 41.A.A.A.A.A$21.2A3.2A6.A.A39.A.A5.A.A$17.2A2.A4.A8.A39.A2.A.A.A.A.A$ 2.A4.2A3.2A4.A3.3A.A49....

Not sure what tool you use to do the search, but I would like to know if there is a p8 spark that would make this modified p6 reflector working: x = 149, y = 116, rule = LifeHistory 8$123.3B$124.2B$125.B3$109.2B2.3B$97.A9.6B.2B$58.B.B5.B16.2A3.2A6.A.A 8.7B.B$58.B20.2A2.A4.A7.BA2B6.9B$64.A4.2A3.2A4.A...

I never saw that edge gun before, where did you find it? It actually can work with a single pentadecathlon (and works with p60 guns). x = 90, y = 65, rule = LifeHistory 87.3B$88.2B$89.B3$73.2B2.3B$61.A9.6B.2B$22.B.B5.B16.2A3.2A6.A.A8.7B.B $22.B20.2A2.A4.A7.BA2B6.9B$28.A4.2A3.2A4.A3.3A.A8.2B8.9B$27.A...

Another way to get to have variable precision integers is to use c2 spark reactions on aligned still life, and have a mean to snipe run-away spaceships arbitrarily far. I do not know if there is a good repository for such reactions though... I put a few here, but a lot more would be needed to move d...

And here is the promised contraption. Bonus points to anyone figuring out what it does :P x = 1147, y = 367, rule = LifeHistory 379.D$380.D$381.D$382.D$383.D$384.D5.A$385.D2.2A$386.D2.2A$387.D$388.

I cannot say it is simpler, but this strategy allow larger address space within a smaller bounding box, so one can easily monitor the state of the memory without having to pan the around large still lifes to see is a block is present, or not. One can also store instructions with this too, so the pro...

Well, it is a prototype, so a few things needs to be fixed to finish it. That being said, it is essentially an improvement atop of a structure I made before which is static memory that stores the letter bitmaps in this lcd display (Loafer character display https://www.conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic...

Well, if you request questions, I do have two. Why does it have be stable circuitry?

That's literally just the sidesnagger. kk, did not know that one, I suppose it is part of the list of eaters/still-life the search uses too, explaining it's occurence. Well there is a few interesting things but finding something ground breaking is not trivial. x = 195, y = 94, rule = LifeHistory 11...

This would be an NE0, and I can't seem to find any H-to-Gs with an NE0 output, so I guess this would be new. x = 56, y = 39, rule = LifeHistory 40.4B$39.4B$38.4B$37.4B$22.A13.4B$21.A.A11.4B$21.A.A10.4B$19.3A.2A8. 4B$18.A4.B8.A3B$15.A2.4AB2AB5.B2AB$15.3A3.A.2AB.2B.BABA$18.A4.10B$17. 2AB4.9B8.2C$17.5...

Well, I cant say that is known. If it does not fit a given category, then there is no record if one found that before. Well, I think the idea is that stuff I would post (especially for this thread), does not need replies. Funny contraptions happens quite often: x = 19, y = 5, rule = LifeHistory 16.A...
