Rules with a Lot of Small Gliders

Post by drc » August 24th, 2016, 7:04 am

I have had fun looking at rules with lots of tiny gliders.

I guess nothing really qualifies as "small" in this case. Neither does "a lot", but look at this rule:

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 14, rule = B34aq/S2in34aekqrw
o6bo$2o5b2o$2o4b3o$o6bo7$2o7bo$ob2o4b2o$b2o4b3o$bo!
It was originally meant to support the two on the left, but by sheer coincidence supports the right two too. It almost has a c/4 ortho too:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = B34aq/S2in34aekqrw
2bo$b3o$4o$2bo!
GlideLife, all of which are coincidentally c/4 in some direction:

Code: Select all

x = 30, y = 5, rule = B34ek5ak/S2-c34z
3o2b2o3b3o6b2o4b3o$bo4b2o4bo3bo3b2o6bo$5bo6bo3b2obo4bo4bo$29bo$25bo3bo
!
GlideLife2:

Code: Select all

x = 35, y = 35, rule = B34ek5ak/S2-c34iz5y
b2o3b3o3bo5b2o12b3o$2o4bo5b2o4bo12bo$2bo3bo5bo5b2o10bo$30bo$30bo3bo$
