Virus (B36/S235)

[phdanielli]

There's a tiny c1/p4 blinker puffer and c1/p2 spaceship, and overall, this rule is EXTREMELY EXPLOSIVE!! If you can find an explosive seed that doesn't give any of any following common objects, please post it.
Common objects include:
Glider
Blinker
Block
Firework (The Puffer)
Rocket (The Orthogonal Spaceship, It's A Flotilla Too!!)
Shurikens (The Still Life On The Right, There Are 2 Orientations)

The story so far:

x = 37, y = 8, rule = B36/S235

This rule (B36/S235) favours small objects as of interesting levels, larger objects tend to be explosive. (Examples include the 4 cell puffer called fireworks, the 9 cell spaceship also a flotilla the rockets (made by adding a tagalong to the fireworks) and many more!! (Note, blinkers tend have much more existence even though the traffic lights predecessor blows up into a huge mess instead of 4 blinkers, the fireworks puffer produces blinkers behind it and thus created much more existence)

Two P10 oscillators, the larger of which produces a 2-cell spark which may be useful:

Love this rule, the ships are adorable.

This p2 oscillator is semi-extensible. By the time the center is 4 cells long it's too large and becomes unstable, but I'm trying to stabilize it for fun. It's sort of a cousin of the pentadecathlon.

I discovered them by looking at virus synthesis, in this case they're simple:

$2o2b2o19b2o2b2o!

After 6 generations this pattern is exactly the same as before, except translated down by one cell with an extra cell on the tail. Perhaps this could be used to make a spaceship or a signal track?

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 7, rule = B36/S235

[phdanielli]

Thanks to everybody, you all made me famous, and you are all great help to me too!! I really mean it even though what you all did was finding a few patterns and playing that rule that I accidentally discovered when I had a typo in the Move rule (I don't usually have typos as I don't use spell check, I use "Myself"!!) but then I realized this was too chaotic to be useful, then you guys all came in and all said it was a great rule!! This cheered my day!! After all, thanks again!!

[phdanielli]

This is the only variation found so far, lets see if anyone comes up with more complex stuff with this rule.

[twinb7]

Tried moving it into a Generations rule, to see if maybe it would tame the explosiveness, but that seems not to be the case.
I think we should define any Virus rule as every one for which the virus is a viable spaceship.
