I can't seem to make a rule that supports this, though...

Here you go! The first transition (0,1,1,0,1,1,0,1,0,1) is the only one different from Life.
In Alan Hensel's notation, the rule is 23/35y.

Speaking of blinkers, they're definitely the most common object in this rule, owing largely to the fact that the common domino spark predecessor (beehive missing an edge cell) is a TL predecessor, and the beehive is a predecessor of the interchange. There are various common placements for pairs of beehives as well, one of which results in a pulsar.

Oh, neat - I assume that's how you found the 2c/6 ship too?

Offhand I don't see a way to turn that into a wickstretcher - both of the transitions that could make the wick work would also ruin the engine.

It didn't work, but the result is super cool; it would actually be a pretty tame rule if not for the behavior of the B-heptomino. It doesn't actually stop moving, and its debris periodically creates new perpendicular B-heptominoes, which then create perpendicular B-heptominoes and so on, ending up as a really weird Evoloop-esque quadratically growing mess. Does this count as a replicator? (speaking of which, Life's fleet predecessor is a failed 2D replicator - works for one cycle, but the copies interact with each other and make a mess)

All of the xWSSs work in this rule, and there are a few ways to arrange pairs of Bs to tame their debris. Also, bookend+block makes a beehive puffer:

EDIT by dvgrn: Replaced "notlife" with equivalent "B2k3-k/S23-a", since "notlife" was represented on the wiki by "notlife (Wright)", and so LifeViewer didn't work right here anyway.

This rule was an accident - it's pretty boring overall, but it has a neat 2c/19 (natural but rare) orthogonal ship.

x = 4, y = 4, rule = B2k3-k/S23-a

The p46 self-shuttle looks promising... but then again, no gliders, so it's probably not going to become a gun.

Is it acceptable to put HighLife variants as well? This rule differs from HighLife in that

Code: Select all

I had also found a fourth puffer, which was VERY clean (makes a row of ships on each side) as well as being glide-reflective, but due to Golly crashing I lost it I must have found it out of sheer luck because almost all perturbations to the pi plumes it makes catch up to the engine and destroy it. The clean puffer I found had some complicated smoke that interacted in such a manner, and I have no idea how to create it again

Replife's replicator can be hassled at p96, or two copies can be combined for a p48. It's capable of converting Life's glider to the T glider and vice versa. A p48 gun may be possible.
