Slide guns and other XWSS salvo technology
Posted: December 18th, 2020, 5:00 pm
Yesterday, while trying to find a suitable slide gun reaction that would support Kazyan's almost c/61 spaceship, I wasn't able to find anything. However, I did find a lot of other interesting and potentially useful stuff, and I believe that it's worth developing XWSS salvo construction, where one collides single XWSSes, or pairs or triplets of XWSSes at a time to create things. First of all, I found a lot of slide gun reactions. This list is by no means comprehensive.
First of all, here is the one collision that I know about so far that generates a forward glider and some other junk:
These generate a backwards glider and other junk:
These generate clean forwards gliders:
And these generate clean backwards gliders.
If you want to make a pair of gliders, there are ways to do that too, although only one is clean.
For parallel gliders:
For perpendicular gliders:
And for antiparallel gliders:
This was the clean one:
I also found a sideways MWSS (+blinker).
And finally for now, some other collisions that generate objects ranging from mildly unusual things like long boats and toads, all the way down to paperclips, bi-ponds, and table-on-tables.
First of all, here is the one collision that I know about so far that generates a forward glider and some other junk:
