Ha, yes, and even now we haven't caught up with one of the key parts of the Gemini's design.Kazyan wrote:The collective response to Gemini was along the lines of "Hold on, you did what now!?", and Life has been developing Gemini's technology ever since.mscibing wrote:I've created a universal constructor based spaceship.
Two synchronized constructor arms working at 90 degrees to each other are significantly more than twice as efficient as a single slow-salvo construction arm -- so you'd need twice as much circuitry, of course, but the extra investment would pay off in a smaller overall pattern.
And yet -- to date, the Gemini is still the only self-constructing spaceship completed or on the drawing board that uses two 90-degree construction arms. I think the only other B3/S23 constructors of any kind that use that trick are chris_c's HBK gun, and Paul Tooke's Pianola breeders.
... That brings to mind another similarly marvellous moment of surprise. Apologies to Sokwe for quoting slightly out of order:

It was a joke. The name is spelled wrong. It's AbhpzTa, not "AbphTza". Plus, that's not their style. It would be more like:fluffykitty wrote:Reference please.Saka wrote:AbphTza wrote:Here I have created a period 71 (4,11)c/71 spaceship with oscillators in LongLife

Wait, what means "loafed"? Also I only meant I just managed to put that mystery in Velcrorex' avatar in my Golly! I meant, I discovered the Nether of the curious spaceship that ended (loafed off?) in his avatar.
I also like the dialog between Gustavo and Codeholic in the same thread:towerator wrote:I LOVE this sentence. It makes so much sense...It may be my bad, anyway, I had a loafer that went haywire a few days ago, thanks to find it!I FOUND VELCROREX' SPACESHIP
