Duck And Frog (B2ci3aery4eqr5aeiq6acn78/S01c2ei3-i4ijrtz5ainry7c8)

[AlbertArmStain]

Here’s a rule by affamatodidio known as “Duck and Frog”
Here are some of posts on this:

Apologies for double posting, however, this is for a new rule that I had created and already shared on the discord. Lovingly named "Duck And Frog" for its two small spaceships (duck and frog), B2ci3aery4eqr5aeiq6acn78/S01c2ei3-i4ijrtz5ainry7c8 has a dot splitter for the frog, a frog to duck, and other mechanisms underway.
Simple frog to duck:

List of things to do:
- Discover more spaceship speeds
- Create orthogonoid
- Find more signal convertors
- Find smaller eaters for both

I like this rule, here's some reactions

Hey has this been found? (I can't identify it because golly busted when running it but it's probably a failed replicator or a rake)

I identified this chaospuffer as something that can be made into a 222c/606o and at least one higher period multiple. An unrelated pattern in the same rule was also posted by breaker's glider gun.

silly conduit:

the catalyst can be used for binary counters. here are two examples, one outputs, the other does not

and it is of course extensible. but unbounded binary counters is a another problem (maybe we could use rakes to extend it)
EDIT: I found a rake with zfind, doesn't fire in the direction I hoped it to though. how far off are we from clean side-rakes?

I think it's about time to try to make a orthogonoid.

Single-channel push and fire operations. Maybe someone can find an odd-numbered pull reaction? If so, the dot would be a fully operable construction arm.

You counted wrong - it’s 3 cell push with fire.
I’m working on the pull - since we have both 2 and 3 push it won’t be hard to find an available pull.
