Re: how and when you discovered the game of life?

I was reading Stephen Hawkings' new book "The Grand Design"
In the last chapter he talked about The Game of Life and my interest grew from there.

Hi. I don't recognise these mechansims from any pattern i've seen so you may have discovered them. These do have a potential to be used in a larger mechanism or to what I've noticed if you remove the last MWSS it creates a p48 rake (predessesor). Frankly though, I would be suprised if these weren't ...

Erm...

The inactivity of this thread would suggest no-one knows a block factory other than Achim's P144
Right?

What I really need then is almsot a conveyer belt of them.

Re: Missing Components

You may note 90° reflectors used for adding edge gliders, glider + LWSS reactions for adding front gliders, and even an LWSS 90° reflection. Most of the currect reflectors work on a direct path so would be useless to a gun. I'm testing the queen bee shuttle as a reflector and taking an interest in ...

You can simply use this reaction (kickback reaction) x = 7, y = 10, rule = B3/S23 obo$2o$bo5$4b3o$4bo$5bo! Result is same, and you don't need block which is destroyed Minor problem with that is the glider is sent exactly where it came from so the gun would be destroyed unless a reflector is quickly...

Oh this reaction, I realise could be the foundation for an 'any gun' (i.e. a gun that with modifications can make any spaceship with a know glider synthesis)

Principle reaction

Hey all, I'm working on a new gun and i'm missing some crucial parts, mainly I need a machine that deploys an accessible '<' triplet spark and another that deploys a block a few gens before the triplet spark.

Basically i'll keep making posts here for parts I need.

First of all, the term "house" is generally used when referring to the pattern as an induction coil. Otherwise, it is merely generation 3 of the pi-heptomino . You didn't need to tell me this.
