Excellent!
Even though this is not directly related, this prompted me to re-examine all my eater block frob
variant syntheses and to update them to be synthesized from as many directions as possible
(i.e. cheapest, starting with frob, starting with block, starting with frob+block).
I hadn't previously considered the ones starting with the eater, but it turns out that integral w/up boat can easily be added in place, and doing it this way actually reduces many of the syntheses, using this converter:
Code: Select all
x = 78, y = 20, rule = B3/S23

Of the 24 syntheses up to 24 bits, 12 are improved. I haven't finished the 25-bit ones yet, but some of those are also improved.

There are several; unfortunately, of the 62 oscillators I know of up to 25 bits, all could be built with one of those except for this one, as the hook on the frob part got too close to the eater in every case.

Nice! I didn't even know of any way to do this. This can also sometimes be added simultaneously. Sadly, two can't be added head-on.
