There may be some sort of bug with qfind when doing really long searches. For example, this search gets stuck at depth 59879: ./qfind B2ce3jry4e5iy7e/S12ik3aeinr4aeir5i6c7e p19 k4 w2 u Changing the hash table size does not affect anything, but increasing the BFS queue size seems to delay when qfind ...

When fromgliderdb.py reached the end of the list, it threw an exception:

I think that may be caused by me not checking if lines are in proper format. It is probably crashing on an empty last line. I'll fix that.

There are a lot of unusually dense ships out there that don't look like they should exist. There are some easy cases where the ships are C orthogonal, and can be infinitely extended: x = 19, y = 19, rule = B1e4a/S01234-a5-a67c8 b18o$18o$18o$b18o$18o$18o$b18o$18o$18o$b18o$18o$18o$b18o$18o$18o$b18o$ 1...

Here are a couple of scripts that may be useful. The first is fromgliderdb.py, which takes the glider database, and converts it into a format usable by the other scripts. Remove the top commented section before converting. This should create a new .py file with the database in a different format, gl...

Is this c/3 orthogonal ship known? It's 43 cells, so it's slightly smaller than the turtle.

I don't think that ship is known, congrats, and welcome to the forums! I'll update the HighLife wiki page. Also, was this found with zfind, or a different search program?

How well does LSSS work for relativistic speeds?

It seems to work fairly well for relativistic speeds in my experience. If there's a small 3c/4 in this rule, it's probably your best shot at finding one.
