A 'mirrored' triangle:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 5, rule = B2ce3ai5e6n/S1e2ace3-acjk4t
bo$bo3$3o!
something related:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 5, rule = B2ce3ai5e6kn7c8/S1e2ace3-acjk4t
bo$bo3$3o!
This one is also interesing:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 5, rule = B2ce3ai6i/S1e2ace3-acjk4t

I don't recognize this class

it replicates, every 8 generations, into 3 copies, one forward, 2 sideward. collisions result in mutual destruction.
it seems to be a hybrid between quadruple replicators and sierpinski generators...

It replicates, but once 4 of them are far enough apart it makes a phase shifted replicator in the middle that eventually destroys a third of the replicators' children. After that, it has 4 replicators on 4 corners of a rhombus, that do in fact behave as class Q, albeit on a slightly larger scale.

Do these two class-U replicators follow an identical replication sequence? I'm finding it difficult to figure out.

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 6, rule = B35a6ae78/S23

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 7, rule = B2-ek/S

We still have this class to name:

I think that would be another class U. :? It's clearly fractal-based, as can be seen most clearly at generations 2^n - 1 for integer n, but I don't think that fractal has a name.

Ah, I suppose that five-way replicator sort of counts, though it's not a symmetrical pentagon. That other replicator seems like another class U (it's simulating a sort of a fractal, similar to but different from the Sierpinski carpet).

And that fractal also has an intricate pattern of lines going between the squares.

Interesting, the only debris it leaves behind is a single tub in the middle. Other than that, it's completely clean.

I accidentally found this:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = B3-n4a/S1e2-a3ijnr
bo$3o$2b2o$2bo!
The rule is a exploding rule...

After some random works, I ended up with this Class F(?)

A mesmerising and beautiful pattern, and I love how it's almost a replicator made of spacefillers. I guess it's more class A than class D, though I find it a bit hard to distinguish those two.
The 5S project (Smallest Spaceships Supporting Specific Speeds) is now maintained by AforAmpere. The latest collection is hosted on GitHub and contains well over 1,000,000 spaceships.

I suppose a class A stops replicating and turns into another pattern, and a class D continues replicating at its outer edges but leaves behind chaos in its centre, but even the OP doesn't really make this distinction clear - the second posted class D looks like it could be class A. The first example class D suggests it's supposed to be a sort of "class F but messier".

ain't this more of a "explosion" rule than a actual replicator

10min later...
YAY!

That's just a sawtooth. The number of replicator cores does not get larger.
