Shapeloop, a new loop rule

[pi_guy314]

Updated both rule tables to 1.08.1. Here are all of the bugs I fixed.

These few are shapeloop3 exclusive.

Is this alternating generation loop known?

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 18, rule = shapeloop3

I got it from a around generation 36,544 of this

NICE NECROPOSTING EVERYBODY

[Throwaway]

I found a 3 stage loop

Code: Select all

x = 34, y = 21, rule = shapeloop

Sorry(

NICE NECROPOSTING EVERYBODY

Agreed.
@Throwaway welcome to the forums!
Nice to meet you!

Anyways it’s suggested to use code tags(the

Code: Select all

</>

button, or [ code][/code](don’t care about the space there))

Also, just post those in Miscellaneous Discoveries in Other Cellular Automata since this is an old thread.

The fastest loops in this rule:

Code: Select all

x = 55, y = 4, rule = shapeloop3
DODC47.DEDC$D2HD47.O2HD$E2HC47.B2HA$B3D47.3DC!

The one on the left is 1 generation faster.
A while ago I discovered a rule-90 replicator which was a similar rectangle but I lost it.

EDIT: Dumb oscillator:

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 14, rule = shapeloop3
