Glider Synthesis making Guns

Post by Entity Valkyrie » November 30th, 2017, 6:31 am

I found a 12-glider synthesis of the Simkin Glider Gun:

Code: Select all

x = 51, y = 29, rule = B3/S23

Your two middle gliders would have interacted several ticks prior, but flipping the problematic block synthesis diagonally removes the conflict and allows the gliders to be pulled back arbitrarily far:

Code: Select all

x = 71, y = 49, rule = B3/S23

So the record is nine gliders if we don't need any eaters?

Eight, if there's a suitable 3G collision for the three blocks.

There is (very likely) no 3G collision which gives the 3 blocks (it surprised me as well). But, maybe there is a 4G collision which gives the 2blocks+B.
