Re: Thread For Your Unrecognised CA

Not sure if rakes are possible at all due to the scarcity of gliders The ant is the 8th most common object overall, even if they do only appear as 0.03% of all objects. That is not that rare, especially considering the guns and rakes already built in this rule, and the rule with the 9c/41 failed re...

B3-ck7e/S23-cr4q6c AbhpzTa's rule is really cool. Here's a new statorless p30: x = 12, y = 17, rule = B3-ck7e/S23-cr4q6c b2o6$2bo$2bo5b3o$bobo5bo6$2ob2o2b2ob2o$2ob2o2b2ob2o$2bo5b3o!

Re: Thread For Your Unrecognised CA

This rule is really cool, it's got a period 682, some 41c/132 puffers and a 69c/138 spaceship, as well as some c/2 and c/3 photons naturally: x = 147, y = 245, rule = B2k3/S2cek3-a4-ijkrw 3o$3bo$3bo$bo2bo$4bo$o2bo$3bo$2bo43$3o$obo$o2bo$obo$3o20$3o$obo$o2bo$o bo$3o72$3o$obo$o2bo$obo$3o46$38bo$36b2o24...

B3/S2cek3-a4-ijkrw

B3/S2cek3-a4-ijkrw might seem boring from the outside, but it's very elegant. Soups usually tend to either die off/produce some small objects (around 9 out of 10) or create rocket(s), like so: x = 16, y = 16, rule = B3/S2cek3-a4-ijkrw 2b3o5bo2bobo$3b2ob2ob3obobo$b3o3bobo2b4o$3b3o3bob3obo$4b4obo2b4o$...

The period 28 ship in B3/S2cek3-a4-ijkrw. v0.54 gives this ship a beautiful apgcode: yaomi imozyd . There's also goy7og and soy1os somewhere in there. However, v4 gives this ship a less beautiful apgcode, starting with 6r0gm . There's also gokee, scgzy, sozyfo, btsoc, and zom in there somewhere, but...

Oh no. Does the phase with the longer apgcode fit inside 40x40, and the shorter one exceed it?
The shorter one (6r0gm) is 41x33, the longer one (yaomi) is 37x38, so yes.

Re: apgsearch - haul requests

B3/S2cek3-a4-ijkrw has lots of interesting things. A 8-cell period 96 gun (although it infrequently survives because the ships it emits are sparky and the gun itself is very sparse), a period 236 failed gun, lots of fun ships, and a p260 still life puffer. There's also a very common catalysis using ...
