Extended Life

[skomick]

Found a compact AK47 (p94 glider gun)

Code: Select all

x = 24, y = 25, rule = extendedlife
E7.A7.2A$8.3A5.2A$11.A$10.2A3$12.A8.3E$11.A.A9.F$11.A.A3.2A4.E$12.2A

More compact:

Code: Select all

x = 20, y = 25, rule = extendedlife
6.A7.2A$6.3A5.2A$E8.A$8.2A5$9.5A5.E$12.2A$9.2A3.A$13.2A$13.A$12.A$.A$

[Monocot]

Another tad more compact. And with perma-on-cells as glider eaters - I find perma-on-cell-eaters quite counterintuitive, therefore I like them:

Code: Select all

x = 20, y = 25, rule = extendedlife
14.2A$14.2A$8.FA$8.2A$4.F4$19.E5$8.A$7.A.A$6.A3.A$E5.A3.A$6.A3.A$7.A.
A$8.A$15.F$10.2A$10.AF$4.2A$4.2A!

And a small 4-barreled p44 glider gun:

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 3, rule = extendedlife
.4F$F4.F$.4F!

[knightlife]

And a small 4-barreled p44 glider gun:

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 3, rule = extendedlife
.4F$F4.F$.4F!

The glider streams are p41.
This is perhaps the most compact 4-barreled glider gun so far, using just 10 cells.

[Extrementhusiast]

This is perhaps the most compact 4-barreled glider gun so far, using just 10 cells.

I can make it nine:

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 6, rule = extendedlife
2.A$.A3.A$A.B$4.A$3.A$.A3.C!

You can hardly tell it's four-barreled, though.

[knightlife]

Just found this 8-barreled p18 gun:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = extendedlife
B.B2$B.B!

[Extrementhusiast]

That was mentioned earlier.

[knightlife]

That was mentioned earlier.

Sorry, I didn't remember it from a year ago. It could be reduced to 4-barrel, requiring eight cells to start. But that is not very satisfying, for sure.

[knightlife]

This 16-barrel p3671 gun starts from just 5 cells:

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 13, rule = extendedlife
6.B6$B5.B5.B6$6.B!

[skomick]

I was playing around with stabilizing wicks using Extended Life and came across a p72 oscillator which, when perturbed, can be made into a p72 herschel factory. Here, I've added a h -> g to make a glider gun:

Code: Select all

x = 45, y = 29, rule = extendedlife
2.E3.4E.14E.4E3.E$16.4A14.2A$2A12.2A18.3A$2A12.A17.EA2.A$14.A5.A12.A.

$42.A.A$43.2A!

Another way to make a gun:

Code: Select all

x = 72, y = 35, rule = extendedlife
18.3A$20.A$19.A4$24.2A3.A3.4E.14E.4E3.E$13.A.2A6.2A.2A.A13.3A16.A$12.

Just for fun, here's an Extended Life version of a p154 loafer gun. p154 is the smallest period possible for this glider synthesis.

Just for fun, the loafer can also be destroyed with only one deathforcer (state 3):

This results a small p3 osc.

Here is a p18 glider gun featuring an ultra-fast Pre-B to G converter:

I know, bumping an old topic, but this rule does get mentioned occasionally, as it recently was.
