 In the rule B3-cjq4acekqwz5ack6i/S2cin3-jk4-z5acejk6in, find (or prove they don't exist):
a) an orthogonal spaceship under 30 cells
b) a diagonal spaceship under 30 cells
c) an infinite growth
Here is a p3 orthogonal c/3 spaceship (found with qfind 2.3)

Code: Select all

#C ./qfind -r B3-cjq4acekqwz5ack6i/S2cin3-jk4-z5acejk6in -p 3 -y 1 -w 7 -s asymmetric
x = 6, y = 7, rule = B3-cjq4acekqwz5ack6i/S2cin3-jk4-z5acejk6in

The rule B2/S12V is hilariously longliving. Look at this 64x64 soup which lives for about 402,000 generations:

reminds me a bit of when i got a really big selection and generated a 1% soup and then pressed control a and repeated until i got nothing.
