Rule request thread

Rhombic · Post by **Rhombic** » January 2nd, 2017, 7:32 am

Can someone improve this rule in a way that
- is non-explosive
- allows relatively small gliders to be common (~frequency > ant in tlife)
- has interesting oscillators
- keeps the CGoL-ish element

Code: Select all

I made a new thread for small growing seeds (ie the 1 cell->15093 rule and others) here.

I want a rule (any number of states) in which this is a c/6 spaceship:

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 9, rule = B3/S23
4b2o$2bo4bo$bo6bo$o8bo$2ob4ob2o3$2b2o2b2o$2b2o2b2o!

Allow me to propose a freaky multicolour life concept:

There are 7 colours: Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, White.

Mixing happens as follows:

- Three of the same colour will obviously give the resulting cell the same colour.

- Two of the same colour and one different will give the same colour as the dominant.

- Each a different colour:

-- If any of the three cells are white, the result will be white.

-- If the parent cells are each red, green and blue, the result will be white.

-- If the parent cells are cyan, magenta and yellow, the result will be white.

-- If two of the parent cells are either cyan, magenta or yellow, and the remaining cell red, green or blue, the resulting cell will be the opposite of the remaining colour. For example, cyan and yellow give green since magenta remains and is the opposite of green, cyan and magenta give blue since yellow remains and blue is the opposite of yellow, and magenta and yellow gives red since the remaining colour is cyan which is the opposite of red.

-- If two of the parent cells are either red, green or blue, and the remaining cell cyan, magenta or yellow, the resulting cell will also be the opposite of the remaining colour. For example, red and green give yellow since blue remains and is the opposite of yellow, red and blue give magenta since green remains and green is the opposite of magenta, and green and blue gives cyan since the remaining colour is red which is the opposite of cyan.

Will probably be a real challenge to make, but the result should be of interest.

I would like a rule that generates plant/moss-like structures.

Check out DLA.rle in the Margolus pattern folder.

B2ce3ai/S2356 is a rule that exhibits this behaviour, although it sometimes (might) explode.

I would like a 256-state rule where you can simulate 8 non-interacting Life universes.

That sounded like fun for a moment, but when you figure out the number of rules that a rule table would need, it starts looking kind of unlikely. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can't use variables to cut down the number of rules much in this case, because the eight universes are completely independent. So the number of rule lines would be

(n + r -1) choose r

with n=256 and r=9 -- a combination with replacement. That's 14955617450039552, about fifteen quadrillion, so the actual rule table would take up a fair fraction of an exabyte -- as in, about one byte for every letter in every copy of every book ever printed on Earth (see entry for "200 petabytes").

There are easier ways to get eight non-interacting Life universes...! A Lua script could manage the trick quite nicely with eight stacked layers in Golly, for example.

Can someone find a non-b0 rule with a 3-cell glider?

What about 4 universes?

By the same equation, (n=16 and r=5, correct?) we get 20C5 or 15504 transitions, well within the range of a decent script.
