B2-ak3ain/S1

[Hunting]

This is a interesting rule that I think worth a thread.

First, there's four speed: c/2, c/3, c/4, c/7 known. For example:

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 43, rule = B2-ak3ain/S1
11b2o$10bo$11b2o8$11bo$12bo$12bo8$4b2o2$3bobo$2ob2o$2o6bo$6bo4bo$6bo3b
obo$6bo3bobo$6bo4bo$2o6bo$2ob2o$3bobo2$4b2o7$4bobo$10b3o$4bobo!

The c/2, c/3, c/7 ones are natural and common.
And the exciting part is, I noticed a gun.

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 10, rule = B2-ak3ain/S1
2bo$2bo$2bo2$o3bo$o3bo2$2bo$2bo$2bo!

Actually, we figure out this rule has many guns when AlephAlpha trying to apgsearch it.

[Hunting]

At first I think there's no diagonal spaceship. We search for p4 and p6 diagonal spaceship, negative result. Then AlephAlpha fired up LifeFind for c/5, and then found this tiny ship:

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 6, rule = B2-ak3ain/S1
3b3o2$4b2o$o2bo$obo$obo!

And a tagalong:

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 19, rule = B2-ak3ain/S1
10bo2bo$10bo$9bo2$9bo3bobobo2$13bo$18bo$14bo3bo$2bobo$2o$14b3o2$o3bobo

Lots of useless spaceship and oscillator.

The last one is a pretty sparker and is useful for some reactions. Here's some signal-circuitry(-ish) example:

Code: Select all

Also useful for c/2 circuitry.

[Hunting]

Maybe Signal Circuitry is possible. We have reflectors and eaters, but they based on p8. The gun isn't p8, and it emits c/2 instead of glider. So how to connect this to the p8 circuit?
I'm thinking about uses a p8 to convert the c/2 to a glider, but because of the gun isn't p8, this failed. Probably, can make the period quadple? I don't know.

EDIT: Now we have quadple period, but also have extra barrel to clean up. I'm thinking about stable c/2 eater - Is that even possible?

[Hunting]

So the question is: How to arrange two guns to make the period double.

[Hunting]

Double:

Code: Select all

x = 92, y = 40, rule = B2-ak3ain/S1
86b2o2$82b3o4b3o2$86b2o26$2bo$2bo$2bo2$o3bo$o3bo2$2bo$2bo$2bo!

Quadple, nearly fits in, but the extra barrels is a problem.

Code: Select all

x = 64, y = 26, rule = B2-ak3ain/S1

Any stable converter?

Hunting, why did you make nine posts in a row in the span of three hours? You should really edit your previous posts in such a situation.

Sorry if this annoys you. I classify my patterns into 9 category

Actually there's only 8 category because in one post I posted a question. I only think it is "discussion" and should be fine.
Why everyone didn't look at the rule instead of discussing am I spamming?

Hey, you could remove the domino on the back of one of the LifeFind useless ships and get a puffer!!

Nice!
The second one produces a huge spark on the back, and produces a few side-dot-sparks, so it could do many things.
