Re: Extended Life
Another tad more compact. And with perma-on-cells as glider eaters - I find perma-on-cell-eaters quite counterintuitive, therefore I like them: x = 20, y = 25, rule = extendedlife 14.2A$14.2A$8.FA$8.2A$4.F4$19.E5$8.A$7.A.A$6.A3.A$E5.A3.A$6.A3.A$7.A.

Search for low period oscillators
As I mentioned in the "Accidental discoveries thread" I started a "screening" for oscillators. I got into it as I found WinLifeSearch 0.61 (by Jason Summers and Karel Suhajda, found here: http://entropymine.com/jason/life/software/ ), and tried if it would run under Wine/VBoxed WinXP. It worked in b...

Re: Thread For Your Accidental Discoveries
Thanks, again! Seems I have to learn quite a lot about GoL, still. I've put together a simple oscillator analysis Life variant (it color-codes bushing, casing, and rotor cells). Just plain LifeHistory helps, too… Would you share your simple oscillator analysis Life variant? Or have you done that alr...

Re: Thread For Your Accidental Discoveries
Thanks for the explanation, Tropylium. I did another search in the meantime, and another outstanding ugly p3 oscillator was found. If I'm not much mistaken, there are again 2 noninteracting rotors, and no interesting spark: x = 21, y = 21, rule = B3/S23 10bo2b2ob2o$5b2o2bobo2bobobo$3b3obo2bob2o4bo$b...

Re: Extended Life
I played a bit with the signal circuits available in this thread, mainly Tropyliums. On the right side is a frequency halver which blocks each second incoming signal. At the top is a modified AND-gate, which is now a switchable p8-signal gun, switched on by two signals and of by one. x = 83, y = 125...

Re: Beehive pusher problem
The lightspeed telegraph use beehive orthogonal fuse, don`t pull beehives. That probably depends on the definition of "pull beehives". If the fuse in question runs through the beehives the first time, it "pulls" them one field upwards, and one in they way it comes from. It's better visible in LifeH...

Re: Thread For Your Accidental Discoveries
AFAIK there's much less interest in finding oscillators (at least, ones without useful sparks) than spaceships. Unless there's some humungous oscillator search collection out there I'm not aware of, there are probably much smaller p3s or p2s that have not been collected anywhere… Ah, thank you very...

Re: Beehive pusher problem
The lightspeed-telegraph from the pattern collection provided with golly uses more or less a beehive-pull reaction to transmit its signals. See either the "Signal Circurity"-section for the complete telegraph or here for just the reaktion: x = 59, y = 9, rule = B3/S23 53bo$42b2ob2o4bo$b2o3b2o3b2o3b2...

Re: Thread For Your Accidental Discoveries
@Monocot - That is rare indeed, the HWSS makes a 90 degree turn using only three simple still life objects! The spare glider could concievably restore the original blocks and loaf by using Herschel conduits in order to make a stable reflector for a HWSS, but that would still require a large set of ...
