I think there's some potential there. As I noted previously, a sufficient still life could give a p34 oscillator.

I posted the history of this reaction here.

when the fuse dies, a glider is created at the end, so if this is new it might be useful for one-time signals.
I'm still new to using RLE, so please tell me if I pasted the pattern wrong. Thanks!

Welcome to the forums! First, it is suggested to use code tags instead of viewer. click the </> button on the top.
These patterns with fuses are most possibly known, as a lot of new users try these. If you want to discover new things, try tutorials for more!

I'm almost certain that this is already known, but again I can't find it in the LifeWiki and I can't install Golly so I'm patient if this is again already known.

[hotdogPi]

I found a (typical) block catalyst that converts a region into a large spark. I don't know how common the active region that leads up to it is. You can ignore the domino spark above the pi that was placed manually (well, by program); we're looking at immediate predecessors such as the wing + banana in generation 15 that would become a traffic light without the block.

[dvgrn]

I found a (typical) block catalyst that converts a region into a large spark. I don't know how common the active region that leads up to it is.

It's common enough to be in the octohash database exactly once:

Code: Select all

x = 18, y = 10, rule = LifeHistory
.C8.2C$2.C7.C.C3.2A$3C8.C2B2.2A$10.B.B$10.B.B$7.B.B2CB$7.2BC.C$5.3BCB
C$6.3BCB$8.B!

That means it's ... fairly rare, I guess, but at the same time a lot more common than all the similar-sized things that can't be found in octohash searches at all.

There doesn't seem to be a simple replacement for the block that makes a clean one-time spark seed -- the simplest thing I could find was

Code: Select all

x = 20, y = 14, rule = LifeHistory
4$.C8.2C$2.C7.C.C3.2C$3C8.C2B2.2C$10.B.B$10.B.B3.2C$7.B.B2CB3.C.C$7.
2BC.C6.C$5.3BCBC7.2C$6.3BCB$8.B!

However, that large output spark can be checked separately against the octohash database. There are 51 matches to one of its final phases, so I guess it makes sense that that quick-disappearing spark looks vaguely familiar.

Code: Select all

x = 558, y = 66, rule = B3/S23

As a reminder, there are really only 47 matching collisions. Constellations containing a blinker weren't canonicalized correctly in the database, so they show up twice each. The two phases of the blinker come across as different hash vaules.

All three of those wicks are known. The top wick is an infinite form of the queen bee shuttle, and the bottom wick is an infinite form of worker bee. (The middle wick also has a name, but vivi already covered that.)

Yeah, I know that. I was already getting ready to call the middle one a drone.. 55

[MathAndCode]

Yeah, I know that.

Then why did you post them in the thread for unsure discoveries?

[Alexander Yu]

Yeah, I know that.

Then why did you post them in the thread for unsure discoveries?

I was comparing them to the "now i know it's called test tube baby cell" to see if it was worthy of being called a "bee" if it was a new pattern.

[Alexander Yu]

I think I may have discovered a larger version of the Worker Bee. It behaves the same way but it works differently, requiring you to add cells to stabilize it. It is also p6.
