Intrigued by the behavior of this rule:

and

viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1293&start=100#p11297

here is a simple Golly rule:

that also supports an infinite number of orthogonal ship speeds.

Here are two example patterns:

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 42, rule = Ships
4.AB$4.D.C9$3.AB$3.D2.C9$2.AB$2.D3.C9$.AB$.D4.C9$AB$D5.C!

Code: Select all

x = 52, y = 54, rule = Ships

Surely there are enough patterns and techniques available to the Life enthusiasts on this Forum to enable them to construct similar patterns using the Life rule.

Hm. Interesting, I suppose. These patterns might not be too interesting, but I wanted to reply

Code: Select all

x = 15, y = 2, rule = Ships
13.AB$D.E.E!

Rows of yellow are eventually appended to the right, but with more yellow cells anyway...

Code: Select all

x = 46, y = 2, rule = Ships
44.AB$D10.D9.D3.2E!

An infinite growth pattern, "The Crawler", I suppose...

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 3, rule = Ships
.D.C$2.BA$2D!

To show the mechanism, here it is expanded:

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 3, rule = Ships
2D$.BA$5.C!

[twinb7]

This pattern's width grows to n+3 at generation 0.5(n-1)(n+2). It's very simple...

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 2, rule = Ships
.BA$C2.C!

and I find the behavior of these kinds of patterns interesting:

Code: Select all

x = 75, y = 2, rule = Ships
23.AB$D15.D19.D10.D26.D!

And more patterns:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 5, rule = Ships
.B$DAD$DBD$DAD$.E!

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 5, rule = Ships
.B6.B$DAD4.DA3D$DBD4.DBABAB$DAD4.DA3D$.E6.B!

I completely forgot this beautiful rule:

EDIT by dvgrn: moved from a separate thread, per request.

Is there a 90 degree signal reflector in Ships?

You haven't 'discovered' them, as they were probably already known. I don't like to discourage others on the forums, but please stop doing this.

Also, try not to use multiple code tags.

That 'backward' glider is in fact a regular glider, but you changed the color of the states so that the colors for state 1 and 2 are swapped round. Not cool.

[Moosey]

Is there a 90 degree signal reflector in Ships?

Please just post a question like this in the relevant thread in the future.

[NoAyeBeardo]

Yes. Stop making unnesscary threads.
