Weird that B3-n/S1e2-a3-e4e is heavily lacking guns despite how common the t-ship is in that rule.

This is the only natural gun so far, which is useless due to the period being too low:

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 11, rule = B3-n/S1e2-a3-e4e

So i constructed this gun from scratch (which is the first gun i ever constructed):

Code: Select all

x = 69, y = 69, rule = B3-n/S1e2-a3-e4e

What are the state 5 cells for?

What are the state 5 cells for?

I used them to mark the bounding box of the gun (excluding the output glider stream). The gun is shown in the phase right before the output glider leaves the bounding box.
