Big A gun

Post by HartmutHolzwart » June 27th, 2009, 11:31 am

Some time ago, someone posted a glider synthesis for the "big A" tagalong (32P4H2V0.5).

x = 15, y = 20, rule = B3/S23
2$3b4o$3bo3bo$3bo$4bo2bo2$8b4o$7bo2bo$7bo2bo$7bo2bo$8b4o2$4bo2bo$3bo$
3bo3bo$3b4o!

Unfortunately I lost that synthesis. Can anybody recover it? Is it possible to build a gun for that ship?

Thanks in advance,
Hartmut

This is incomplete, as you still need to come up with the collisions to properly place the Fishhook eaters and Boat.

Could someone work on that one?

I've discovered that I'm good with glider synthesis. I suppose it might be my "specialty", as many people say. Anyways, after about a half an hour of tinkering, thinking, and making sure the wrong gliders don't collide, here's the finished product:

Code: Select all

x = 73, y = 83, rule = B3/S23

Now this could lead to a gun, couldn't it?

That would be the first new one in quite a time!

Thanks,
Hartmut

Indeed it could. P690 big A gun (built using the same p690 technology in the P690 60P5H2V0 gun by Jason Summers):

A rather odd synthesis of the Queen Bee Shuttle:

Code: Select all

x = 67, y = 82, rule = B3/S23

It starts with a blinker being formed, and then two gliders crashing into the glider to produce the actual Queen Bee with two extra beehives (this was actually discovered completely by accident), which are soon deleted. Simultaneously, a block is synthesized in just the right location. By this time, the Queen Bee has produced a beehive, which is also soon deleted, and then another block is synthesized, "trapping" the Queen Bee, producing a trans Queen Bee Shuttle. A cis queen bee shuttle can be easily synthesized based off of this by moving the two rightmost gliders up one space.

Indeed it could. P690 big A gun (built using the same p690 technology in the P690 60P5H2V0 gun by Jason Summers):
Since that gun has a hole at the back, the stream it produces can be made (at least) 4 times as thick by simply stacking them one behind the other.

It's easy to do with 2 or 3 copies, but then things start to get messy. Curiously, the height of this gun is 414 = 6*69. I tried separations of 7*69 & 8*69, no phase shifting.

Edit

I tried again with separation of 7*69=483, and advancing each upper copy by 483 steps, and managed to get 8 copies working, but got collisions on the ninth. There might be enough room to add a ninth, but I think it's not possible to get all 10, at least not this way. Anyway, here's my result, compressed using gz, so Golly can open it directly.

Man Nathaniel, how do you make guns out of syntheses so fast?

Meh, it's not hard when all of the components are already organized and displayed for you (in the p690 gun I mentioned). Just place a glider gun in each of the four corners and then continue placing the guns as you move toward the forwardmost gliders. Sometimes you have to think a bit to get a collection of gliders squeezed together as much as you want, but other than that there's nothing to it really (for a relatively small gun and period-unoptimized gun like this anyways).

It would be nice to produce a (much) lower-period big A gun, but I don't have time over the next bit.

I know that, but I can't do it that fast...

Here's a p144 big A gun. It is relatively bulky but not too bad; the only problem is the salvo from the lower right, which gave me all sorts of trouble while building and still looks terrible. There's probably smaller p144 lightweight spaceship guns out there, but I don't know of them.

Edit: I created a lightweight spaceship gun that can sometimes fit into a smaller area and posted a slightly updated big A gun using this (the advantage is not great).

p136 and lower is impossible since the glider syntheses then collide with each other, which leads me to believe that your p144 gun is almost certainly the best that can be done with current technology. Well done!

Re: Big A gun -> other small c/2 space ships

Post by HartmutHolzwart » September 18th, 2009, 4:10 pm

it should be possible to find glider constructions and then guns for other small *WSS tagalongs, starting with this one:

x = 13, y = 20, rule = B3/S23
4bo$2bo3bo$bo$bo4bo$b5o2$6b2o$6b2o2$7b2o$5bo4bo$4bo$4bo5bo$4b6o!

Then we could move on subsequently to more complex cases

x = 17, y = 21, rule = B3/S23
4$3b4o5bo2bo$3bo3bo3bo$3bo7bo3bo$4bo2bo3b4o2$8b2o$8bobo$5bo$4bo$4bo3bo
$4b4o!

and

x = 22, y = 23, rule = B3/S23
$5bo2bo$4bo$4bo3bo$4b4o2$9b2o$9b2o$4bo2bo$3bo$3bo3bo2b5o$3b4o3bo4bo$
10bo$11bo3bo$13bo!

could be quick wins

Cheers,

... quick wins at least not for me... My best effort so far:

x = 29, y = 29, rule = B3/S23
7$16bobo$16b2o$5bo11bo$6b2o$5b2o5b2o$11bobo$11b2o3$12b2o$12b2o4$15b6o$
15bo5bo$15bo$16bo4bo$18b2o!

which evolves into

x = 18, y = 25, rule = B3/S23
4$4b2obo$3b2obobo$4b4o$5b4o$8b2o$8b2o$8bobo3$6b2o$5b2ob4o$6b6o$7b4o!

instead of

x = 24, y = 35, rule = B3/S23
13$10b2o$9b2ob3o$10b5o$11b5o$15b2o$15b2o$15bobo3$13b2o$12b2ob4o$13b6o$
14b4o!

Can somebody improve on that.

Win.

x = 127, y = 110, rule = B3/S23

Edit:
This one was easy, and can surely be optimized:

x = 78, y = 45, rule = B3/S23

Also, What are the smallest c/2 spaceships without known syntheses? I know Mark Niemiec's page has many syntheses for small c/2 spaceships, but it is not up-to-date.

Kills the A, but not the LWSSs.

Code: Select all

x = 48, y = 47, rule = B3/S23
11$17bo$17bo$17bo6$10b3o9b3o$10bo2bo7bo2bo$10bo13bo$10bo13bo$11bobo2b
3o2bobo$15bo3bo$15bo3bo$15b5o$15bo3bo!
Another way to do the same thing:

Code: Select all

x = 24, y = 27, rule = B3/S23
4$14bo$14bo$14bo$7b3o9b3o$7bo2bo7bo2bo$7bo13bo$7bo13bo$8bobo2b3o2bobo$
12bo3bo$12bo3bo$12b5o$12bo3bo!
It has a large and messy spark.

Up to my knowledge, there were no new syntheses for small c/2 after the big A!

The x66 half or the u pushalong would be very nice!

What's this "u pushalong" that you are talking about? Is it the standard MWSS pushalong, or is it something else?

I would assume then that, with my synthesis above, all known c/2 spaceships up to 29 bits can be synthesized. The smallest ones I know of that have not been synthesized are the HWSS on x66 half, some skewed thing, and the second spaceship you posted above.

#C Some skewed thing

It should be pointed out that you've left out hundreds of ways that two or three spaceships can be combined that add or suppress sparks. The smallest have a population of 20:

Code: Select all

x=78, y=8

On the other hand, you've got several new ones in there that I just added to my files. Thanks.

Sure, you are correct!

It just would be more thrilling to see non *WSS-ships synthesized.

The file is from Jason Summers collection, but at least I contributed quite a few of those ships.

The synthesis that I found for the 28-bit spaceship is difficult to incorporate into a gun, as the spacing of gliders in the salvo coming from the upper right is so close that I am unable to place them in their appropriate positions. Does anyone know of a way to do this? On a related note, has anyone managed to show that all possible two-glider salvos can be created?

Code: Select all

x = 24, y = 21, rule = B3/S23

To my knowledge, the smallest c/2 spaceships that do not have known syntheses are these:

Am I missing anything? Also, what are the smallest overweight spaceship flotillas (flotillae?) without syntheses?
