Slowest glider maker (Challenge)

Post by NimbleRogue » January 5th, 2023, 5:35 pm

Here is a challenge, find the pattern that takes the longest time to change into a glider. The rules are it must fit within a 50*50 square, it must leave no debris and, it must not form a glider that works uninterrupted for 4 generations until the final glider.
For example this would be disqualified

Code: Select all

x = 21, y = 19, rule = B3/S23
6$12b2o$12b2o4$9b2o$10b2o$9bo$7bo$7b2o!


To start

Code: Select all

x = 27, y = 45, rule = B3/S23
15$13b2o$12b2o$13b2o3$11b2o$11b2o10$13bo$13bo$13bo!

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 3, rule = B3-cnqy4e5kr6n7c/S2-i3-ay4einrtyz5cejn6cin78
bo$3o$ob2o!

Code: Select all

#14c/85265o
x = 10, y = 4, rule = B2-an3-iqy4iknrtz5aijqy6aei78/S02ck3nqy4eiqrtwy5-ekq6-i78

I'll just backtrack that a generation:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 19, rule = B3/S23

I'll just backtrack that a generation.

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 21, rule = B3/S23
