If you check your user page often, you would see the 'Limitless' badge and the yl384 in your list of discoveries:

https://catagolue.appspot.com/user/EricABQ
You can also figure it out from the links. The sample soup link includes the seed used, and the MD5 value of that seed allows you to access the haul.

Specifically, the sample soup's link is this:

Code: Select all

https://catagolue.appspot.com/hashsoup/C1/n_B5FXtgU55bKd7493993/b3s23
That means it's soup 7493993 generated from seed n_B5FXtgU55bKd. All you need to do is get the MD5 value of the seed:

Code: Select all

$echo -n n_B5FXtgU55bKd | md5sum 692083554f90c886d1db8fd52718fa0b *-$

The link for the haul then is:

Code: Select all

https://catagolue.appspot.com/haul/b3s23/C1/692083554f90c886d1db8fd52718fa0b
And that, as they say, is that. It's a useful little trick to know!

Thanks to chris's suggestions, I think I found a good seed for a BTS:

It's currently in quarantine because apgsearch classified it as 'PATHOLOGICAL' due to its high period. I'll implement a way of editing the contents of the haul to make it say something more appropriate such as yl4608_2015_11_28 before letting it into the census.

25% and 75% never worked, because of the percent sign in the URL. 25pct and 75pct never took off, and apgsearch v1.1 doesn't even support them. However, I see no reason 8x32 shouldn't be added to the list of available "symmetries".

If you change it from "25%/75%" to "25%25/75%25", it works.

As for natural guns in b3s23/C1, I think both the Gosper glider gun and Simkin's glider gun could plausibly appear before the 10^15 object mark. Of course, we're only 3% of the way towards this target (at 30 * 10^12 objects), so we need either much higher engagement, GPU computing, or lots more time before we realise this goal.

Should have been clearer. Yep, that was found by apgsearch but prior to Catagolue. I just expected that on it's first occurrence on Catagolue, somebody would say "Hey now it's on Catagolue too!", and was slightly surprised that the gun was kinda forgotton for 76 soups.

Here is a pretty gruesome 25-glider synthesis. The block and blinker insertions are particularly hideous. I am sure it can be done much more cheaply (probably around 9 gliders), by making two LOMs and a pulsar in close proximity, but I couldn't find a combination that worked.

Here's a 15G synth based off the first of the synthesis mechanisms described above:

Because there's so much room with this method, there's probably a lot of room for improvement (reducing the 8 glider (!) setup of the dentral pattern to something more reasonable like 3 gliders). isaacg Posts: 14 Joined: August 20th, 2015, 8:47 pm ### Re: Soup search results Check out this new type of 2 switch-engine interaction, with period 4608: Code: Select all x = 16, y = 16, rule = B3/S23 oobobobbbooobboo$
