C/2 Diagonal?
This sounds like a dumb question, but I wonder, is it possible for there to be diagonal speeds faster than c/4? Like a xWSS but diagonally. If such a thing is not possible in Conway's Life, what about other rules?

Re: C/2 Diagonal?
Yes
(not mine, i got it from the 5s page)
With B0 it is possible to go faster than c/2, an example:
some more spaceships that are in non-B2a rules that are between c/4 and c/2 can be found here
Code: Select all
x = 3, y = 4, rule = B2ac/S1
2bo2$b2o$o!
With B0 it is possible to go faster than c/2, an example:
Code: Select all
x = 3, y = 6, rule = B02357/S23456
b2o$o$obo$b2o$b2o$b2o!some more spaceships that are in non-B2a rules that are between c/4 and c/2 can be found here

Code: Select all
x = 12, y = 5, rule = Symbiosis

Welcome to the forum! For future reference, such questions would be better suited to the Thread for basic questions.HelicopterCat3 wrote: ↑October 19th, 2020, 10:28 amThis sounds like a dumb question, but I wonder, is it possible for there to be diagonal speeds faster than c/4?

The answer is that such a diagonal ship has been proven not to be possible in Life (see Spaceship Speed Limits in "B3" Life-Like Cellular Automata) but is possible in other rules, as shown by the pattern ENORMOUS_NAME posted above.
