Re: Small Spaceship Syntheses

I think a good (albeit ambitious) next target would be 77P6H1V1 . Although it has a minimum population of 77 cells, it is long and skinny and it can be divided into multiple regions which could be individually searched for. I recently started some investigation myself, and found something that look...

Constructibility of block array s is an open problem. How about pseudo still lives / patches of agars made out of other objects (e.g. ponds, tubs, beehives)? Are these constructible? Unlike block arrays, the pond and tub arrays remain stable when you remove a single pond/tub. This makes constructio...

Re: Reflectorless Rotating Oscillator Discussion Thread in Life

I built my high-loopability RRO design. Each "cycle" takes 21436526 ticks with the exception of the cycles that turn the corner which take an additional 37 ticks. The RRO repeatedly performs 42 going forward cycles and then 1 turning cycle, so the period is (21436526*43 + 37)*4 = 3,687,082,620. I th...

Re: Reflectorless Rotating Oscillator Discussion Thread in Life

I've been looking into making a RRO with higher loopability. The way I'm thinking of doing it is with a design much like the SSOL except that every nth cycle the RRO makes a turn rather than continuing straight. For the RRO to be able to decide between these different actions we need there to be som...

Perhaps it's worth switching from 5hd binary slow salvos to a different spacing.
