on http://lifecompetes.com, one has only 12 cells to make things with. As a result, for that website it is useful to <s>catagolue</s> catalogue how to make larger objects for cheap. For instance, fumarole can be built thusly:

Code: Select all

x = 22, y = 6, rule = B3/S23
17b2o$b2o12b2o2b2o$bo6bo6bo4bo$2bo3b4o6bo2bo$obo5bo5bobo2bobo$2o12b2o
4b2o!

This thread is reserved for such constructions. For instance, Bismuth recently cracked clock 2:

Code: Select all

x = 63, y = 12, rule = B3/S23
6b2o23b2o8bo2bobo10b2o$6b2o23b2o7b3ob3o10b2o$41bo4bo$55b4o$3b2o2b2ob2o

4b2o23b2o24b2o$4b2o23b2o24b2o!

and pinwheel

Code: Select all

x = 89, y = 12, rule = B3/S23
6b2o23b2o8bo2bobo10b2o24b2o$6b2o23b2o7b3ob3o10b2o9bo2bo11b2o$41bo4bo

additionally, octagon II can be done in 12 cells:

Code: Select all

x = 25, y = 10, rule = B3/S23
11bo2bobo$10b3ob3o$11bo4bo2$20bo2bo$12bo6bob2obo$o9b4o6bo2bo$b2o9bo7bo
2bo$bo17bob2obo$20bo2bo!

obviously objects at most 12 cells in population are trivial, which makes things like Caterer trivial

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 6, rule = B3/S23
2bo$o3b4o$o3bo$o$3bo$b2o!

It's also useful to catalogue cheap predecessors of an object, such as seven-cell pulsar predecessors:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 14, rule = B3/S23
o3bo$obobo$o3bo10$5o$o3bo!

or a six-cell method, albiet time-consuming:

Code: Select all

x = 77, y = 13, rule = B3/S23
66b3o3b3o$29bo$29bo34bo4bobo4bo$28b3o33bo4bobo4bo$27b2ob2o32bo4bobo4bo

theoretically possible with one account but unless you're *really* fast it's probably best to recruit someone to help you'

apparently M&C knows a caterer-jam, hopefully they can post it

Posted: **November 18th, 2020, 7:57 pm**

Is a caterer taking up too much room but necessary to stabilize something? Jam can often serve as a replacement, has a slightly smaller bounding box, and can be converted from a caterer with eight cells.

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 6, rule = LifeHistory
2.A$A3.4A$A3.A$A$3.A$.2A!
#C [[ PASTEMODE COPY ]]
#C [[ RLE markdot C! ]]
#C [[ PASTET 3 ]]
#C [[ PASTE markdot 8 -1 ]]
#C [[ PASTET 4 ]]
#C [[ PASTE markdot 5 -1 ]]
#C [[ PASTET 7 ]]
#C [[ PASTE markdot 2 0 ]]
#C [[ PASTE markdot 3 -1 ]]
#C [[ PASTE markdot 4 -1 ]]
#C [[ PASTE markdot 5 0 ]]
#C [[ PASTE markdot 5 1 ]]
#C [[ PASTE markdot 4 2 ]]

This might be improvable to seven or fewer cells.
Also, a reverse reaction with similar cost is probably possible, which would allow a staged caterer in case someone needs a spark from the caterer's other half.

Too lazy to convert to LifeHistory. Have a random artificial 44P12.3 build, although EvinZL's is much better than mine. This should also be usable for pinwheel/clock 2.
