How gliders can make a domino spark suitable?

You don't seem to quite have the idea of destructible circuitry yet. Only half of the things you're adding actually help solve the problem -- the other half just blow up and make the problem harder again. If a glider hits an object and turns it into two objects, go back a step -- there will be a better solution somewhere!

For this sample problem, cleaning up an F171 conduit, you probably shouldn't have to add more than one or two bait objects per catalyst that you're cleaning up. You can either use glider splitters and make lots of gliders that shoot everything down, or you can experiment with the Seeds of Destruction Game to add blocks and other small objects to help lead the destruction reaction from one object to another. Here's a sample 1G F171 destruction that uses both of those methods:

Code: Select all

x = 56, y = 47, rule = LifeHistory
11.4B7.A$12.4B6.3A$13.4B8.A$14.4B6.2A$15.4B5.6B$16.4B6.5B$17.4B4.7B$

A10.2A3$32.2A$31.A.A$32.A2$36.3A$36.A$37.A!

That's eight added objects to clean up five eaters. (It wouldn't really work in practice, because you can't get the Herschel to the input location any more, but this is just a sample.) You can do better if you work at it, but it might take more than five minutes.

What is a glider splitter?
I was trying to find any way of helping, including a spartan G-to-X, when I came to this:

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 21, rule = LifeHistory
14.2E$CB12.E$B2C8.BE.E$2C8B.BCE$.11B$2.10B$3.8B$3.5BCB$3.4BCBCB$5.3BC
3B$5.7B$6.7B$6.6B$6.4B3D$7.5BD$8.2B3D$6.5B$6.EC$7.E$4.3E$4.E!

Probably useless, as the only P-to-X conduit that connect to it, the PL9B, 's output B will destroy the southeast eater in the partial G-to-Pi.

Gustavo6046 wrote:What is a glider splitter?

A glider splitter is similar to a one-time glider turner. It's a constellation of small objects that, when you hit it with a glider, you get two or more gliders out, and nothing left over. There's a big collection of them on the "Splitters from common SL" thread.

Gustavo6046 wrote:Probably useless, as the only P-to-X conduit that connect to it, the PL9B, 's output B will destroy the southeast eater in the partial G-to-Pi.

Not to mention that the tub has gone missing.

An alternate direct G-to-H would certainly be nice to have, especially a Spartan one. But if you're looking for something as good as the syringe, but different, then I hope you know that it's a lot harder to restore a missing tub than a missing block or beehive. Check the relative frequency of tubs in Catagolue to get a rough sense of how unlikely success is, especially if you're not running a search program.

Posted: **November 4th, 2015, 5:31 pm**

While I was searching for a G-to-H, this interesting MWSS-producing setup has arrived, let aside the B-heptomino created:
(didn't work)
Maybe the beehive-with-block can be made at once by a single soup or something like that (even a particular SL factory) for this C-generating collision:

Code: Select all

EDIT: I am planning a Python script that converts the current selection into ptbcells.
EDIT 2: Discarded (using ptbsearch from chris_c is easier).
Instead a script that perturbs a pattern when a imported function is run. Unfortunately I didn't done it yet:

Code: Select all

import glife as h

import random as r

catlistname = open('catlistname.cfg', 'w').read()
if catlistname = '':
    open('catlistname.cfg', 'w').write('catlist.list')
catlist = open(catlistname, 'a')
catalysts = []
for x in catlist.read().split('\n'):
    catalysts.append(x)

def savecat(catalystrle):
    if g.evolve(catalystrle, 1) == catalystrle:
        catlist.write('\n' + catalystrle)
        return True
    else:
        return False

def teststable(rle):
    if g.evolve(rle, 1) ==  rle:
        return True

Then you'd be able to test your pattern using the LifeViewer, using the Preview button before you post it.

And then hopefully you'd notice that there was something wrong with your pattern. There's an eater that is destroyed, and a toad that fails to appear... though the toad might not be too useful in that location anyway.

It would be better if you could fix these things yourself before posting. Otherwise, if anyone is trying to help you out by reviewing your postings, you end up using up their time unnecessarily, and probably their patience also.

Gustavo6046 wrote:EDIT 2: Is this R-to-B cap known?

You know how to look this kind of thing up for yourself, in the current elementary-conduits collection. This would be an RFx10B, right? It's not in the collection, and I hope by now you can guess why. Try to find an X-to-R conduit that could possibly deliver an input R-pentomino that close to the eater, in that orientation, and still allow the B-heptomino to escape.

Or even try to find a likely R-pentomino parent that would not already have interacted with the eater by time T=-1 ... Until you can show that the input and output of a new conduit can really be connected to something, it really is not worth posting or asking questions about.

In the '?' circle, a H-to-2H can be put, and Hersrch find the remaining conduits. This allows flexibility and more Hersrch results, as we can simply take ANY ****ING initlal H-to-H that connects to a H-to-2H, so Hersrch find it, we put a suitable H-to-2H and Hersrch find the other H-to-Hs.

So I ended up having a nice but hugely off-timed circuit.

Code: Select all

x = 187, y = 289, rule = LifeHistory

-- Not necessarily spartan, but still constructable, right? Any conduit that isn't spartan can be replaced, right?

I can only repeat my previous recommendations:

1) Post patterns that will run in LifeViewer.
2) Run patterns in LifeViewer before you post them.
3) Look at the "before" and "after" states of your conduit to make sure that they're really the same.

In this case, why not have the input glider in white? Also put in an active input Herschel, also in white, to show how the beehive will be restored:

You'll have to figure out what you're going to do about the inconvenient extra block that you have marked in red. It's not just going to go away by itself. There's no point in adding an H-to-2H or setting up Hersrch until you've solved that.

I'd say that that extra block makes this connection project not really worth doing. People have already built dozens of Spartan G-to-Hs that are smaller than this one is going to be, after you solve the block problem.

The most usable Spartan G-to-H is probably still a "Silver G-to-H" variant in the elementary conduits collection. There are some new G-to-H mechanisms available now, but nothing significantly smaller yet. You're asking for a Spartan H-to-2H, but your best bet there is probably that same Silver G-to-H, hooked up to a spare glider output.

So here's the real problem: to finish your Spartan G-to-H, you have to add a Spartan G-to-H. That means that starting with that glider+beehive collision doesn't have any good effects -- it just slows the Silver G-to-H down unnecessarily, and makes it bigger.

Which is the smallest object which glider destruction takes more than one glider?
And the easier help in glider destruction?

I just wrote a program for finding one-glider destructions. The smallest objects that have none appear to be the long ship and the canoe.
I guess that makes this thread surprisingly appropriate.

Here is my code, but be warned that the script runs forever if no single-glider destructions are possible.

Code: Select all

# glider_destruction.py
# Enter a pattern and this script will try to find a single-glider destruction of it.

import golly as g

glider = [0,-2,-2,-1,0,-1,-1,0,0,0]

def form(celllist, num):
	if num not in xrange(8):
		return celllist
	if num >= 4:
		celllist = g.transform(celllist, 0, 0, -1, 0, 0, -1)
		num -= 4
	if num >= 2:
		celllist = g.transform(celllist, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1, 0)
		num -= 2
	if num >= 1:
		celllist = g.transform(celllist, 0, 0, -1, 0, 0, 1)
	return celllist

def trygliders(celllist, distance):
	g.new('')
	g.putcells(celllist)
	rect = g.getrect()
	for w in xrange(rect[2] + 5):
		g.new('')
		g.putcells(celllist)
		g.putcells(glider, rect[0] - 3 + w - distance, rect[1] - 3 - distance)
		for gen in xrange(1000):
			g.run(1)
			if int(g.getpop()) <= 2:
			    return (rect[0] - 3 + w - distance, rect[1] - 3 - distance)
	return 0

celllist = g.getcells(g.getrect())

dist = 0
while True:
	for num in xrange(8):
		tlist = form(celllist, num)
		result = trygliders(tlist, dist)
		if (result != 0):
			g.new('')
			g.putcells(tlist)
			g.putcells(glider, result[0], result[1])
			g.exit()
	dist += 1
