Knyght (B2e3/S23-jq)

[drc]

This rule is named after its incredibly simple (2,1)c/9k knightship, shown here:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 5, rule = B2e3/S23-jq
b2o$2obo$3b2o$bob2o$b3o!

It is natural, and it's not the only small spaceship, there are more, of speeds c/2o and 3c/8o:

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 51, rule = B2e3/S23-jq
4bo9b2o$5bo9bo$4bo9b2o$2o$bo$14b2o$15bo$14b2o2$12b4o$15bo$4bo9b2o$5bo$

15bo$13b3o$13b3o$15bo$13b2o!

There's a common weakly sparky p30:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 5, rule = B2e3/S23-jq
2bo$o$2o$2b2o$4bo!

Guns couldn't be made with it no matter how hard I tried. However, there was another oscillator I found by hand, also p30:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 7, rule = B2e3/S23-jq
o$bo$4bo$3bo$4bo$bo$o!

Doubling it up makes a neat p8 too:

Code: Select all

x = 14, y = 7, rule = B2e3/S23-jq
o12bo$bo10bo$4bo4bo$3bo6bo$4bo4bo$bo10bo$o12bo!

I found a splitter reaction with the symmetric p30, phase-preserving too, and used it to make this: A p120n, four barreled gun. It can make p60n and p30n when doubled and quadrupled up:

Code: Select all

x = 39, y = 39, rule = B2e3/S23-jq

And a two glider synthesis for the big, sparky T glider leads to this:

Code: Select all

x = 83, y = 42, rule = B2e3/S23-jq
24bo5bo$25bo3bo2$27bo25bo3bo$27bo24bo5bo$26b3o26bo2$54bobo$o54bo$bo$5b

44bo$10b3o32bo$11bo$11bo$71bo$9bo3bo56bobo$8bo5bo$71bo$68bo5bo$69bo3bo
!

I'm sure more guns could be discovered, via glider synthesis, and new oscillators.

A reaction to make the big bulky asymmetric glider:

Code: Select all

There's still the fact that we don't know how to eat the photon, desirable would be a p1 eater, although p2 would be fine, too.

Puffers are pretty decently plentiful in this rule. Here's a T-rake:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 12, rule = B2e3/S23-jq
bo$2bo$bo7$bo$2o$bo!

And an omgwtfbbq puffer:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 13, rule = B2e3/S23-jq
o$bo$o8$2bo$b2o$2bo!

Most puffers made from 'extending' photons don't work, S3-q is to blame, however, there's at least one that manages to survive long enough to create a p52 puffer:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 7, rule = B2e3/S23-jq
2b2o$3bo$4o2$b3o$o2bo$2b2o!

There's also a p46 puffer, although if you go this far pretty much anything could be made a puffer, kind of like the line puffers from CGoL:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 15, rule = B2e3/S23-jq
3b2o$4bo$3b2o2$b4o$4bo$5o$o$bob2o$o3bo$5o2$b4o$4bo$3b2o!

Bonus fun p2:

[Kiran]

Is there a rule table for this?

[BlinkerSpawn]

Is there a rule table for this?

There's a script that should generate ruletables for any non-totalistic isotropic rule in this format but you don't need it if you get the latest version of Golly.

Bumping this thread because I think this rule will be easy to do things with. Also I just got my computer back and I've been itching to search.

bullet+2 blocks=2 bullets:

Code: Select all

2o$bo$2o2$10b2o$10b2o3$12b2o$12b2o!

The second block can be moved down 9n cells:

I found another one of those bullet-based spaceships. I am referring to these are bullet trains (I think that's a bit clever). This one's p12:

Code: Select all

An example of how messy this rule can be:

No p1 eaters, unfortunately... I tried common constellations of blocks but no luck. There aren't many still lifes in this rule.

Nearly 2 years later, I finally found an eater. Here it is in all its overly big glory:

Wow. I posted the 6c/16o in another thread under B2e3/S23-j and dani posts it in Knyght to enlighten me less than 12 hours later.
