Miscellaneous Discoveries in Other Cellular Automata

A p36 billiard-like oscillator in B03/S0123 (I believe the stator is minimal):

Code: Select all

x = 15, y = 16, rule = B03/S0123

p10 billiard in the same rule:

Also a p14:

3bobobobo$3bobobobo$2b2obo$7b4o$b3obo$5bob4o$4o$7b3o$2obobo$bobobob3o$

I think there are many more periods to be found.

Some lower-period oscillators. (Since it is very hard to construct vanishing numerals, I've counted out half the period with squares.)

Code: Select all

x = 60, y = 31, rule = B03/S0123

There are a lot of unusually dense ships out there that don't look like they should exist.

There are some easy cases where the ships are C orthogonal, and can be infinitely extended:

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 19, rule = B1e4a/S01234-a5-a67c8
b18o$18o$18o$b18o$18o$18o$b18o$18o$18o$b18o$18o$18o$b18o$18o$18o$b18o$
18o$18o$b18o!

But then there are ships like these C/2 diagonals:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = B1e2-ae3-ij45678/S012-ak3-a4-a567
4o$4o$4o$3o!

12o$12o$12o$3obob4obo$9ob2o$3obo2b5o$12o$11o$8ob3o$4ob6o$3ob8o$7obobo!

Sometimes there are multiple weird C/2d ships

Code: Select all

x = 42, y = 13, rule = B1e2-ae3-i4-ry56-ei78/S012ace3cinqr4-anr5-anq6ack7c

o$10ob2o14b2o$6ob6o13b2o$3ob6o2bo$13o$9ob3o$5obob5o$3ob3ob4o$11obo!

Some others can be extended:

Code: Select all

x = 24, y = 20, rule = B2aek3-ciy4ainqrt5-ce6cen/S12-ae3acnq4ainqtyz5-cj6-ci7c8

This behavior is not limited to C/2d. Here are some other examples:

No. There are only a few non-explosive B1e rules, and I'm pretty sure that there won't be one in that very specific rulespace.

The cavity can be filled with higher-period rotors. The tricky part is that there are no still lifes, except for the dot when S0 is on.
