This could be turned into an oscillator, but we'd need a reflector different from the mirror reaction to get the glider to the right color: x = 5, y = 10, rule = B3-kq4j/S2-i34q 3bo$2bo$2b3o5$o$2o$o!

I must have explored this rule a dozen times and I've never found this.

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 4, rule = B3-y/S234w

(4,3)c/20.

Of course, the original reason I was exploring the rule was to play with the common c/3d ship:

The first few generations of that look like a failed spacefiller or wickstretcher for some reason.

If you stop your pattern after 23 generations, sure!

I would characterize 2015-2020 as a sort of revisit to the smaller things in Conway's Life. Things like the loafer, copperhead, Sir Robin, and new glider syntheses all point to a general trend towards a smaller scale rather than things on the order of the Gemini. Clearly, there's no definite line --...

Over two years since it appeared in C2_2, and this asymmetric 15-bitter has yet to show up in either C1 or G1:

I like that idea, but the hard part is going to be turning the glider back around, since you're already sparking it from both sides. Indeed; to avoid interfering with the returning glider, you'd need a high-period domino sparker with considerable clearance (it would have to fit entirely southwest o...

I can at least try to answer a few of these. What makes the long snake (7 cells) and even the regular snake so rare? A lack of predecessors that are smaller or of comparable size.

That fuse burns at 4c/6 (8c/12 unsimplified), and I don't believe I've seen it before. Maybe a puffer leaves that exhaust? If not, each row is two gliders.
