So…this is a rule that has turing machines.
Here are some things in this rule:

Electron

x = 3, y = 2, rule = B2ac3i/S
o$obo!

Electron creator

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B2ac3i/S
2bo$obo$obo!

Electron eater

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 3, rule = B2ac3i/S
obo$6bo$6bobo!

And here are two multiples machines I made:

2n

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 7, rule = B2ac3i/S
o$obo$obo2$4b2o2$3b3o!

4n

Code: Select all

x = 20, y = 10, rule = B2ac3i/S
obo16bo$o18bo$o16bobo5$11b2o2$10b3o!

PkmnQ,

An interesting rule!

Those aren’t electrons, they’re technically photons.
Also is there any chance to find a “laser” (photon gun)?

Redstoneboi,

The rule supports a variety of replicators and guns. A simple example:

Code: Select all

x = 17, y = 23, rule = B2ac3i/S
A2$A9.A5.A$10.A5.A3$15.2A6$15.2A10$13.A.A!

Ooh, didn't see that!
Only found a rake.
Anyways, I'm saving all patterns that are discovered here.
I'm gonna give credit, too.

Interesting although its exploding!
The first photon can act as a signal. Any idea for logic gates? First, Can we build a Not gate?

Yes.
let’s look at the list of stuff we need:
guns, check, and adjustable.

independent eaters, check.

independent 90 degree reflectors that aren’t NOT gates, NOT check. (no pun inteded)

also, this kind of not gate is really just an ANDNOT gate (which is a UNIVERSAL GATE WOOO) where the first input is always on.

My usual 2cents. (Do construct a rule-110 unit cell!)

Posted: **September 28th, 2018, 8:16 pm**

But first, let’s figure out how we’re gonna solve timing issues.
the reflector is very flexible, and can be used to become a regulator, so long as the input phase stays correct.
there are many cancelling reactions and ANDNOT gates with different timings for anyone to figure out.
reflectors can be used as trombone slides.

to remove ambiguity, an ANDNOT gate will return a photon when the first input has a photon AND NOT the second input.
a cancel ANDNOT (CAndNot) is where the second input is destroyed on collision.
a passing ANDNOT (PAndNot) is where the second input is NOT destroyed on collision.
a NOT (and its c and p variants) is where the first input always has a photon.

In this racetrack i’m going to be using

2 period doubled guns
1 splitter (which is just a gun powering the first input of a PAndNot connected to a CNot gate)
3 eaters (one of which is for a CAndNot)
and 2 reflectors.

the top end is synchronized differently so I had to find some ways to time them correctly.

Almost spaceship, but we have to add a hollow blinker to eat every photon rake that comes out when there are no photons left.

Could maybe be used as a counter?

It's a moving, endlessly expanding binary counter! Also a high-period sawtooth.

Digging in my files, I saw a puffer in B2ac/S.

It kinda did, but I had to modify it a bit.
Luckily, I didn't need a search program because it readjusted itself.

I wanna build a Rule 18 Machine here! Start from now...
The rule 18 logic expression is:
(Not q) and (p xor r)
So we need a NOT gate and an XOR gate (and probably, a lots of 90d reflector)
However
a xor b = (a or b) and not (a and b)
We've completed the NOT gate, right?

What about rule 90? Rule 90 is (left xor right) which is much simpler than ((not left) and (center xor right)).
Alternatively we could do something more important such as rule 110 ((c or r) andnot (l and c and r)).
T = true = gun
not a = T andnot a
a or b = not ((not a) andnot b)
a and b = a andnot (not b)
a xor b = (a andnot b) or (b andnot a)

So that gives us:
rule 110 = T andnot ((T andnot c) andnot r) andnot (l andnot (T andnot (c andnot (T andnot r))))
rule 90 = T andnot ((T andnot (l andnot r)) andnot (r andnot l))
Now that’s a lot of splitters and reflectors.

Rule 30 is (l xor (c or r))

Which is turned into:
T andnot (((l andnot (T andnot ((T andnot c) andnot r))) andnot ((T andnot ((T andnot c) andnot r)) andnot l)
