Diaphotons
Posted: April 25th, 2022, 12:40 am
This rule was inspired by Brian Prentice's Mites. It has a very minimalistic ruletable with literally 3 lines that enable diagonal photons moving at the speed of light.
It behaves somewhat similar to Brian's Brain. One of the common features is the natural 4-barrel p4 gun:
It tends to produce many rakes that interact in complex ways, sieving, reflecting and modifying the photons, Often enough an MMM breeder appears.
Some ships:
Questions: are oscillators, orthogonal spaceships and ships slower than C possible in this rule?
