L141 (or Lx141? idk)

Code: Select all

x = 28, y = 32, rule = B3/S23

It's L141. If it's Lx141 then this would be a herschel track instead:

Code: Select all

x = 70, y = 70, rule = B3/S23

Half-blockade fuse:

Code: Select all

x = 53, y = 61, rule = B3/S23

If this fuse didn't displace at wrong displacement then we would had a new potential speed…
EDIT:

My first ever salvo-thing (?). 25G-to-G

Code: Select all

I think I can append some gliders to this to clean up the mess

This is off topic. A catalyst must returns to it's original position and direction after catalysis, and in general only catalysis an active region.
Slow salvos constructions aren't belonged to the thread.

…
In general, it would be helpful if people gave a very brief description of how their patterns were found. Something as simple as "by hand", or "with X search program", or "completed a partial by so-and-so" would do.

I'll take that comment personally too

family is overrated as heck. why am I supposed to love an adult woman who couldn't even be bothered to raise her child right? just because she gave birth to me? why should I bother to hug a man who tells me that my problems are all my fault? because he's my father? why am I supposed to be nice to someone who violated me and then accused me of being the "aggressor" 7 years afterwards? because me and her have the same parents? it goes against everything i know about having a healthy connection with someone and I feel so stupid for thinking that my family actually cared. maybe the whole "your family cares about you" thing was just a very long running joke that flew over my head, it wouldn't be the first time

If your sister really did that to you when you were ten, something is really wrong with her.

Every time I see this chucklebait stator variant, I want to bang my head against the wall. This is probably the ugliest variant you could use.

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 9, rule = B3/S23

I've seen the downside of using RLE to encode checkerboards, so I decide to improve it.

If there's a certain repeating text, you can put it in brackets then add a number before it:

Code: Select all

# optimized as 10(ob)!
obobobobobobobobobob!

You can put the optimized text in another brackets too:

Code: Select all

# optimized as 16(16(ob)$)!
x = 15, y = 16, rule = B3/S23
obobobobobobobo$obobobobobobobo$obobobobobobobo$obobobobobobobo$obobo
bobobobobo$obobobobobobobo$obobobobobobobo$obobobobobobobo$obobobobob
obobo$obobobobobobobo$obobobobobobobo$obobobobobobobo$obobobobobobobo
$obobobobobobobo$obobobobobobobo$obobobobobobobo!

For true checkerboards the optimized RLE will look like this:

Code: Select all

# optimized as 8(16(ob)$16(bo))!
x = 16, y = 16, rule = B3/S23
obobobobobobobo$bobobobobobobobo$obobobobobobobo$bobobobobobobobo$obo
bobobobobobo$bobobobobobobobo$obobobobobobobo$bobobobobobobobo$obobob
obobobobo$bobobobobobobobo$obobobobobobobo$bobobobobobobobo$obobobobo

I wish metacells were this easy... found while watching some physics video: https://youtu.be/DoCYY9sa2kU?t=431

I tried generalizing the idea of columns and full diagonals to oblique spaceships and this is apparently the logical conclusion???

I am genuinely surprised that the LeapLife billiard tables ranked last in OCADOTY. Though I should have made it clear that this wasn't about the billiard tables themselves and about a "new" search tool (LeapLife hack for dr). At the same time, there has to be something that places last in stuff like this.
