So the raw data is just from the glider database, right?

Posted: **June 17th, 2017, 5:29 pm**

Yeah, if you go to this, it has all of the gliders, in his format, http://fano.ics.uci.edu/glider.db, to find a specific speed, like c/55, just search :55:1:0, :55

0, :55:0:1, and :55:0:-1, which are the four possible parameters for c/55 p55.

Posted: **June 17th, 2017, 5:36 pm**

Right, I managed to find a c/41, but no c/42.

EDIT: c/43 found.

Posted: **June 17th, 2017, 5:40 pm**

I can't find one either, and I have none on my list. There is none in drc's collection either. I don't know if any are known.

Posted: **June 17th, 2017, 5:46 pm**

Aha, so we have hit a wall!

...at least until some nutter puts together a database for all gliders in non-totalistic rules, which won't happen way too soon due to the fact that there are masses more of non-totalistic glider-supporting rules than totalistic.

EDIT: Not turning up anything for c/51 either.

Posted: **June 17th, 2017, 5:52 pm**

Ah, there's only 2251799813685248 rules to search!

Posted: **June 17th, 2017, 5:59 pm**

Here's the current version of that rule mashup, which, while only one day old, is going to get absolutely destroyed by the update it's getting tomorrow:

c/42, c/51, c/52, c/57, c/58, c/61, c/65, c/69, c/71, c/72, c/75, c/77, c/78, c/79, c/82, c/84, c/85, c/88, c/90, c/91, c/93, c/94, c/95, c/96, c/97 and c/99 seem to be the perfect speeds below 100 without a known ship as of right now. c/62, c/68, c/74, c/76 and c/80 only seem to have B0 ships.

That's a lot more missing than I would have expected to be honest.

Posted: **June 17th, 2017, 7:11 pm**

You checked all permutations on the database? I don't have the ships you need, but drc's dropbox collection or the natural ships with strange speeds thread might have something

Posted: **June 17th, 2017, 7:24 pm**

yup, checked that ages ago, so nothing new.

But still, we have every speed perfect up to what, 41? That's good enough so far until someone figures out how to fill in those gaps.

Posted: **June 17th, 2017, 8:13 pm**

What speeds do you have that just have too high of a period?

c/42, c/132 and c/158

Smallest possible c/3
https://catagolue.appspot.com/object/xq ... 045-eiy6a7

it has 3 cells in two of its three phases!

Posted: **June 23rd, 2017, 7:59 pm**

Why aren't the B0's showing strobe lights in the LifeViewers?

They use the same workaround as Golly.

I have no idea how to search for spaceships!

Method 1: Exploration
Make up a random rulestring that contains b2ec or b3ai. Keep modifying. Once you are satisfied just apgsearch it.

Method 2: Searching
If you have an interestimg rule you can search it with a search tool. If you dont know search tools go to the Tutorials

PS. Your signature isnt a replicator it's a breeder

Posted: **June 24th, 2017, 10:54 am**

What I meant is that the R-pentomino produces R-pentominos, like a replicator. If left unchecked, it would grow exponentially, but its own debries and copies start destroying each other. It is like a replicator, and like a breeder.

Totalistic rules should be prioritized over non-totalistic rules, since they are closer to Life.

Posted: **June 25th, 2017, 8:17 pm**

Now I feel like 42 is mocking us all because 42 is the essence of Life and yet we can't find its spaceship!

Posted: **June 27th, 2017, 10:24 am**

Well, I just went through every rule I could find on Catagolue and turned up empty-handed.

Posted: **June 27th, 2017, 11:14 am**

Smaller c/44 if you are looking for the smallest examples:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 3, rule = B2-ac3aceik5cjry6-a/S23-akn4

I mean c/42.
