Re: Symbiosis

I've extended Skopje so it can handle any rule that lifelib can handle. Based on this, scraping FWK's oscillator collection and playing around with the small stable reflectors in this rule, I have shown that absolutely any period can be realised by an oscillator of at most 32 cells : x = 158, y = 15...

Well if you need a name to identify it, it definitely isn't a shuttle, so I guess p42 pre-pulsar hassler would be unambiguous.
I named it the p42 pulsar hassler since a full pulsar appears for one generation.
