Re: Log log log log?
That is the reason why the first stage must be a Caber Tosser and not a gun: The cordership moves linearly while B moves logarithmically so the cordership would eventually be much farther away. Therefore the signal would have plenty of time to be absorbed by B before the glider would return to creat...

Log log log log? (Complete)
I think it is possible to create a pattern that grows in cells O(log(log(log(...x...)))) for an arbitrary number of logs. One way to do so would be to have a unit that would for example: 1) Accept gliders from the NW. 2) Send a salvo to the NE every time it gets a glider from NW. 3)That salvo would ...

Re: Very nearly exploding rules
Day 3:
Almost 3*10^6 gens.
27 ships.
Population: ~2.3*10^6
No sign of stability.

Re: Thread for Your Accidental Discoveries that Aren't in CGOL
Code: Select all
x = 22, y = 11, rule = B36/S23
2o18b2o$bo18bo$bobo14bobo$2b2o14b2o$8b2o$7bob2o$8b2o$18b2o$18bobo$20bo
$20b2o!
The 1 eater stabilisation seems more useful because it sparks.
Can they be combined to form a gun, reflector or hassler?

Re: Very nearly exploding rules
Alas, p42 and p68 oscillators exist, luckily they are rare so perhaps none would remain.If some other oscillator or ship emerges with a period which does not divide 36 then the test for stabilisation will fail.
Also how to run that script, does it need Python?

Re: Natural c/98 HighLife spaceship
What is the difference between a helix and a tractor arm?There's a simpler helix in highlife:
If a helix is one that needs a continuous stream of spaceships then this is not a helix.

Re: Very nearly exploding rules
Is there any script for testing Methuselahs that stops by itself when the pattern stabilizes?
That way I could just keep it running overnight and check it in the morning.

Re: Very nearly exploding rules
UPDATE:
After 10^6 generations there are 243851 cells, a 3111x4008 box (excluding 4 spaceships) and still no sign of stability.

Re: Very nearly exploding rules
x = 51, y = 16, rule = 237/34/3 50.A$49.2A11$2.A$.2A$2A$A! This nine cell (51x16) pattern appears to explode, I tracked it in golly for 500000 generations but it still shows no sign of subsiding. The census after 5*10^5 generations is 112362 cells, a 2305x2491 box (excluding two spaceships) and pro...
