Loafer, Copperhead... are we on to something?

[Hdjensofjfnen]

With the discovery of the loafer spaceship, which produces and destroys loaves, and the copperhead, which produces and destroys blocks, I think we should start looking for the third "loafer-type" spaceship -- possibly with hives?

[fluffykitty]

Well it already exists and is called the dragon. But maybe there's a compact one that can be found by a slightly modified distributed CopperSearch.

[Hdjensofjfnen]

I mean, one that's as small as Copperhead and Loafer.

Uhh...^^

The caterpillar creates and destroys lot of blinkers, but it's nowhere near small unless we get to see a billion cell spaceship in our lifetime.

But what about a pulsar-pushing ship?:

This actually almost exists already, with a different speed - A pulsar can interact with two blinkers (one on each side) and travel 3 cells over 14 generations - and two traffic lights happen to produce blinkers in exactly the right spot for the reaction to repeat again. The issue is the rest of the traffic lights collides with the reaction and destroys it.

Code: Select all

x = 15, y = 7, rule = B3/S23

Because still lifes can last for long amounts of time. But can a mango pusher be made? *probably not*

[muzik]

But what about a tub pusher?

But what about a tub pusher?

Great Idea!
