Wick ship
Revision as of 20:11, 10 April 2012 by Pooping Alien (talk | contribs)
In any CA, a wick ship is a spaceship that moves at the same speed as bits of a "vector wick" ("ant" in Ants), and consists of said "bit" and a stabilization element. In Game of Life, there are no C spaceships, therefore no wick ships for Ants. The only wick ship in Game of Life is 114P6H1V0. By definition, wick ships are extensible through introduction of more "bits" of the wick it is based on (such as 114P6H1V0's non-monotonic frontal part). A "puller" is a wick ship for a frontal-stabilized wick (like Ants). A "pusher", on other hand, is one stabilizing the rear (114P9H1V0). This article is a stub.
