Some (2,1)c/6 partials. I was testing out some tweaks to the "floating rows" in lsss, these took most of a week to find. I currently have a (3,1)c/8 search in progress.

What's this about floating rows? This sounds like a new feature.

[MathAndCode]

Some (2,1)c/6 partials. I was testing out some tweaks to the "floating rows" in lsss, these took most of a week to find. I currently have a (3,1)c/8 search in progress.

Some of them go in different directions. Have you thought of putting the ends of two of the partials near each other and seeing if that can be stabilized?

[mscibing]

What's this about floating rows? This sounds like a new feature.

It's been there a while (the --max-width parameter), I just haven't used it much as negative results with it aren't usable for the spaceship search status page and can't meaningfully be compared to other programs with floating row support. lsss will throw out some but not all partials that are locally wider than --max-width, where "locally" is a few rows. (Internally what it's doing is it's throwing out partial columns/slices if it can prove that they're not part of a partial spaceship at or below the max width near the tail.)

One consequence of this rather vague behaviour is that you can end up with partials with rows longer than the max width. An example of this is a (2,1)c/6 partial in my previous post where one row had a width of 28. I knew this could happen, I was not expecting it to be that dramatic an effect.

The thing is though that even with the poor support lsss has for the feature, it does seem to help at the more difficult velocities.

Some of them go in different directions. Have you thought of putting the ends of two of the partials near each other and seeing if that can be stabilized?

I've thought along similar lines but I wasn't able to see a good way to automate the process.

[MathAndCode]

I've thought along similar lines but I wasn't able to see a good way to automate the process.

Could you at least do it manually if the partials are promising enough?
Also, I see Sir Robin's forward movement mechanism in at least two of the partials.

[LaundryPizza03]

With gfind there is no asymmetric c/8d at width 8. There is also no c/8d at width 7 with bilateral symmetry, width 9 with gutter symmetry, or width 10 with glide-reflect symmetry. The first search reached a depth of at least 110, but regular gfind lacks a dumping feature.

EDIT: The bound for glide symmetry has been improved to width 12 (l96).

EDIT2: The bound for glide symmetry has been improved to width 14 (l112).

[LaundryPizza03]

This is an attempt at finding a gliderless c/4 diagonal with bilateral symmetry. To avoid the large amount of noise from gliders and big gliders, this partial was found using JLS.

That will definitely help with my question.

Are there c/4 (1c/4) diagonal spaceships that doesn't contain a glider like component at the front and are not glide-symmetric and not asymmetric?

That partial means that there might be one.

[Entity Valkyrie 2]

Are there c/4 (1c/4) diagonal spaceships that doesn't contain a glider like component at the front and are not glide-symmetric and not asymmetric?

Enterprise has no glider-like components, but it is glide-symmetric.

Enterprise has no glider-like components, but it is glide-symmetric.

This reminds me of a similar question that I asked independently.

Are there any c/4 diagonal spaceships with a different forward movement mechanism from the glider?

[Entity Valkyrie 2]

By the way, this spaceship is 2c/8 diagonal asymmetrical. (it's not even glide symmetric)

What I see is glide symmetric along the diagonal (after 4 generations you get a mirror image)

[dvgrn]

Look again -- it's close, but not quite symmetrical.

Basically glide symmetry is impossible because the the leading sparker ships are exact mirror images, not phase shifted, but one is permanently a half-diagonal behind the other one:

Here is calcyman's longest (2,1)c/7 partial so far, crossposted from the Discord:

It doesn't appear to narrow towards the back. I think that that's a bad sign.

[wwei23]

There are no c/6d spaceships at width 11hd. It took JLS less than an hour to rule this out. The longest partial looked something like this, but it wasn't as long. Have ikpx2's longest continuation of the 13hd version of the partial so far. The wiki page uses orthogonal bounding boxes for all spaceships, but I personally will use diagonal bounding boxes for diagonal spaceships, unless I need a specific shape or something, because it just feels more natural to align the bounding box with the ship's direction.

I personally think that diagonal spaceship speeds are a bit neglected. We've had lots of c/8o searches, but not many for c/8d (which I think calcyman is working on right now), and even c/6d doesn't have that many spaceships. I didn't get around to completing the 13hd search, but these partials looked really promising. I still fail to see how period-5 is pretty quick, since it took multiple days to complete MathAndCode's partial.
EDIT: This c/6d partial is one cell off on each side, can someone help complete it? I couldn't find any way to support it with any of the known c/6d spaceships either.

[LaundryPizza03]

I'm doing c/8d, too. So far there are no glide-symmetric spaceships in gfind up to width 14, but it reached a depth of at least 103. I haven't investigated symmetric spaceships, but they are less promising, at least at low widths. I've also checked asymmetric up to width 8.

Thank you! I have no idea how I missed that, but reruns with a cell set to contradict that glider are go! (I would still like to see a completion of that partial though.
Another JLS result, though with the same frontend that has gliders after all:

Oops. (in red)

There are only gliders in the front in same phases. Does that still count?

The spaceship Orion is actually gliderless, because of the yellow cells in the right:

I wrote a long rant about EV2Quadcolor but my computer decided to crash so you'll just get an abridged version.

EV2Quadcolor is pointless, slow, confusing and generally inferior.

Anyways you're correct and incorrect at the same time—gliderlessness is an art, not a science, and different people have different views on it (I would not consider either gliderless because I'm somewhat of a purist in that I consider c/4d spaceships gliderless if they do not contain regions that are gliders for at least two generations and move like gliders for the entire period, considering B29 and the like glider tagalongs while in your view they would be simply nongliderless).

[Entity Valkyrie 2]

EV2Quadcolor was actually meant as a way of marking 4-color Colorized Life (Quadlife), and not a replacement for LifeSuper.
