Here is an interesting rule featuring the naturally occuring:
3c/5 spaceship
Code: Select all
x = 5, y = 5, rule = R2,C6,M0,S2..3,B3..3,NN
2.A$5A$.3C$BCDCB$E3.E!
(5, 7)c/21 knightship
Code: Select all
x = 5, y = 5, rule = R2,C6,M0,S2..3,B3..3,NN
3.ED$D4E$DA2E$2A2D$2A!
and most importantly this "spaceship-like" p124 oscillator
Code: Select all
x = 33, y = 10, rule = R2,C6,M0,S2..3,B3..3,NN
30.A.A2$30.A.A2$11.4A$11.ACEB$11.2A2E$A.A8.2AE$12.D2E$A.A!
I thought this rule was promising, there are many reactions which could potentially be stabilized with careful positioning of the oscillators:
90° reflectors for the spaceship
Code: Select all
x = 43, y = 43, rule = R2,C6,M0,S2..3,B3..3,NN
29.A.A2$29.A.A$36.A.A$3.A.A$36.A.A$3.A.A5$A.A2$A.A11$36.5A$36.B3CB$
37.3E$36.DE.ED2$40.A.A2$40.A.A5$37.A.A$4.A.A$37.A.A$4.A.A$11.A.A2$11.
A.A!
180° reflectors for the glider
Code: Select all
x = 54, y = 38, rule = R2,C6,M0,S2..3,B3..3,NN
41.A.A2$41.A.A3$51.A.A2$51.A.A14$15.ED$12.D4E$12.DA2E$12.2A2D$12.2A5$
A.A2$A.A3$10.A.A2$10.A.A!
Unfortunately I could not find the right period combinations to stabilize these patterns. (I'm convinced it's possible and perhaps even easy to do, I'm just bad!)
Also, here is an extremely frustrating almost-gun
Code: Select all
x = 65, y = 55, rule = R2,C6,M0,S2..3,B3..3,NN
56.A.A2$56.A.A16$60.AD$30.A.A25.AB2A$58.2ACECA$30.A.A26.A4CA$37.A.A
20.4A$11.4A$11.ACEB22.A.A$11.2A2E$A.A8.2AE$12.D2E$A.A12$41.ABE.E$41.A
4E$41.AC2AD$41.4A9$44.A.A2$44.A.A!
you can see a complete spaceship forming at generation 243 going right and getting eaten by the rightmost oscillators' spark
