Hmm, maybe we could add this p1016 'startlingly prolific gun' I found: Although that might just be me taking higher priority with things that I discovered. What's that called again?

p46 gun in B34y/S2-i3:

A p120 puffer, and a p40 ship and rake: x = 57, y = 129, rule = B37/S2-i34q 2bo$o3bo$5bo$5bo$6o4$6o$5bo$5bo$o3bo$2bo4$6b3o$8bo$6bobo$6b2o11$9bo$7b o3bo$12bo$12bo$7b6o4$7b6o$12bo$12bo$7bo3bo$9bo$2bo$bobo$obo2b2o$bo11b 3o$5b3o7bo$6bo6bobo$6bo6b2o4$6bo6b2o$6bo6bobo$5b3o7bo$bo11b3o$obo2b2o$ bobo$2bo$9bo...

Apgsearch v4.0 seems to have frozen up, how can I tell what current soup it's on? It's on a non-explosive rule/symmetry, b2-ac3i4as12/D8_1.

EDIT: This happened in haul l_YgxgVTdymhXD , at some soup between 182968-200000

If there was no limit, someone could engineer an unimaginably huge spaceship at some random high speed and count it.

muzik wrote:...have you actually checked the text files? There are numerous ships with higher periods...

I see, yeah I guess the limit doesn't really make sense. I'd just say to stick to non-extremely high periods. 1679 is within the realm of 'oh that makes sense'

Which sucks because I really like that spaceship, although there's an insane amount of knightship displacements when the period gets really high, so the project would begin to consume space.

I would probably consider joining. This is definitely something that will appeal more to the younger members, I'd imagine. (Including me) Sandbox and General definitely shouldn't be mixed, as Sandbox is a nice testing/playing-around area and general is for community stuff and just discussing Life in...

Towards a Progressive Rulesrc A self-correcting Rulesrc would be interesting enough to attempt to find cell configurations, but one of the initial steps is to allow variation in the number of identical generations. Note that this yields similar and not necessarily identical ships, but for many purp...

Almost p582, it reminds me of the B36/S245 shuttle: x = 4, y = 4, rule = B2k3aceiq4eity/S23-ac4ceint6c b2o$ob2o$obo$2o!

I noticed Moth-Wingthane has been uploading a haul of b35s3 every 3-4 minutes, could this be wearing catagolue down?

I've called this set of rules 'BlockDeath', and it's when you take a rule and add B2e and S1c, but subtract S3a and it miraculously remains stable most of the time. BlockDeathtlife is extremely stable, with most soups devolving into a series of c/2 gliders and sparks: x = 32, y = 32, rule = B2e3/S1c...

What if someone searches B2-a5/S135678? Will the huge still lifes be counted?

More phantom objects are being reported, what is happening? This should be affecting other rules too I think-

Here's a script that figures out if the specified object has been encountered by catagolue's records, and if so, finds the proper soups that generate the object (I borrowed some parts of apgsearch to assist): lol code What you do is draw the object you want to find (hopefully, what you draw is stab...

Delete that post, please.

This is a known issue with previous versions of non-totalistic apgsearch, but has been fixed in the latest version . Please upgrade if you have not already done so. Sorry, the xp1001 was censused before that version came out Two p234+208n shuttles, just move the right oscillator(s) 26 cells to the ...

I've noticed q and s tend to stop working and, as a result, have lost 600 thousand soups and 10 hours of computing time today.
EDIT: I turned caps lock on and off and it seemed to work after that.

Babies are the future. Unless you want the human race to become extinct (and I don't entirely blame you if you do).

Cool cat says "I LOVE BABIES!". Do you hate cool cat, gameoflifemaniac? Because if so you're in for a boogie woogie. *cracks knuckles*

jk I hate babies too.
