Yes, but should slightly different timings count?
I am tentatively considering myself back.

Nah.

Re: Thread for basic questions
So then what object that has no two-glider synthesis is formed by the most three-glider collisions where the third glider would not have led to the same result in the same way by arriving one or two generations earlier?

Re: Thread for basic questions
Almost certainly the R, or if you wanted to be annoying the pre-block (all 2G collisions which produce it have dying sparks at that stage) or the 4 cell Z-tetromino beehive predecessor (the 2G also produces a spark at that stage)MathAndCode wrote: ↑November 28th, 2020, 7:10 pmSo then what object that has no two-glider synthesis is formed by the most three-glider collisions where the third glider would not have led to the same result in the same way by arriving one or two generations earlier?

Re: Thread for basic questions
xp4_37bkiczy1359a4 is one of them
Achim's p8 (xp8_25du4szx327ba4) is also much more common in D2_x, though there's slightly more soups in C1 and many more soups in G1 as they have been searched a lot more.

That was my best guess, but other common sequences, like wing and century, would also be plausible.

Ok, well I know that. I even just accidentally made a B1 rule that can emulate a Margolus rule (B12347/S123458).

Does that include oscillators like "eater plug"?

No. Sometimes we need eaters close to each other in conduits, so new still lives with two eater heads are needed.ColorfulGalaxy wrote: ↑December 2nd, 2020, 6:56 amWhat do you mean by "eater welds"?Hdjensofjfnen wrote: ↑December 1st, 2020, 1:50 pmIs there an existing catalogue of eater welds?

Medium, as the sparker is still changed (advanced by one generation) if the spark is removed even if it technically isn't destroyed.MathAndCode wrote: ↑December 6th, 2020, 7:11 pmWould this dot sparker count as medium or strong?Code: Select all

How can I search custom rules in apgsearch?
B2n3-jn/S1c23-y is an interesting rule. It has a replicator, a fake glider, an OMOS and SMOS, a wide variety of oscillators, and some signals. Also this rule is omniperiodic.
