Width-17 odd-symmetric 2c/7 search finished without results. Best partial: <snip partial 2c/7 That looks very promising - you will almost certainly find a ship with a width 19 search (w10) if you can run it (how long did the w9 search take?). Another option would be to run a w9 gutter search to ext...

This is a completely new 5c/36o spaceship in B378/S2458. x = 12, y = 9, rule = B378/S2458 4o$o2bo$4o5b2o$8b4o2$8b4o$4o$o2bo4b4o$4o5b2o! <snip> EDIT: 8c/57o x = 12, y = 16, rule = B378/S2458 9b2o$8b4o4$b2o$o2bo2$4o3$8b4o$4o5b2o2$o2bo$b2o!

So assuming you meant 'make that orthogonal adjustable speed ship consisting of the glider + dot bounce reaction go much faster", the answer is in my previous reply: c/8 is as fast as it can be made to go. To go faster requires different reactions.

The spaceship search option is still proving unusably buggy for me. I'm trying to find a glide-symmetric 2c/8d in B368/S35678 by attaching a rear end to a wickstretcher. The spaceship is traveling northwest, so the correct option is to have the pattern shifted up 1 cell and left 1 cell, reflected d...

I hope to see some success with this investigation, though it seems to be tricky to get many things to work because it's so easy for zebra stripes to explode. I suspect though that, as dvgrn said, some tools other than brute force enumeration will be required. Java Life Search (JLS), Win Life Search...

<snip p3 and p4 eaters>

How did you find them?

I used my usual technique for finding catalyst type reactions with JLS to find an appropriate type of spark, and then used a symmetric JLS oscillator search to find the individual oscillators.

In terms of engineering, the c/8d spaceship's formation rate is such that the rule may or may not allow engineering. I haven't found any stable eaters yet, but there is a sparky, volcano-like p9 that can eat the c/8ds on several diagonals: x = 17, y = 22, rule = B35/S2467 13b2obo$14bo$13bob2o$14bob...

It's still not working. What exactly is it that's not working? 1) Have you got a functioning rust dev environment installed? If yes that means you can run "rustc --version" without error and "which cargo" should return the path to the cargo binary. 2) Which shell are you using? If bash and you inst...

Where, exactly, do I run this command? The command "cargo" was not found. You need to run it in Terminal (on MacOS X). [edit]Sorry misunderstood you - run this command while in the life_slice_ship_search directory after makeing the required changes to $PATH. You only need to run this once, so chang...

What is "target/release/life_slice_ship_search" supposed to be in the shell files? I'm getting a "No such file or directory" error when attempting to run files, even after installing Rust. Great that you managed to get rust installed. The next step is to compile the main search program. From the RE...

Growing spaceships are probably the simplest example.

Are there any aperiodic spaceships in Life?

Can you give a definition of "aperiodic spaceships"? I can imagine a few theoretical constructs that merit that description, but no idea if they qualify.

p7 domino sparker? x = 3, y = 5, rule = B3/S23 3o$3o$bo2$2o! This one works, though I have a feeling that it's known (the interaction that is, the sparker is definitely known: Josh Ball, C4 here ). x = 27, y = 17, rule = B3/S23 14b3o$14b3o$15bo2$14b2o$5bo6b6o6b2o$4bobo4b8o4bo2bo$4bobo3bo8bo3bob2o$ ...

how do i use python with golly? i think i'm doing something right because it's crashing, not throwing up an error message when i put in the path to the file (python27.dll in the python section of the scripts folder) You don't need a python27.dll file in your Scripts/Python folder - and it's best no...

How would I go about writing a script to detect and identify period and speed of patterns such as rakes, puffers, breeders and replicators? Start by deciding whether the detection code in the Python version 1.x of apgsearch is good enough for what you need. It produces some kind of (usually) unique...

This generally happens when you have a 32-bit version of Golly and a 64-bit version of the Python dll which Golly is automatically loading. There are a few different ways this can happen and how to fix the problem depends on what the cause is. Just so you know, I wanted to know what the Python scrip...
