Just a tip, you may want to consider previewing your posts before you submit them. It's confusing which parts are your own comments and which ones you're quoting from someone else, because normally the new text is supposed to go outside the tag.

"BTL": A suggested name for xp0_27x33, or its ash. The name is a pun on "block + TL predecessor collision" and "blinker with loaf". Not to be confused with "BTC" or "BTS".

Code: Select all

x = 21, y = 21, rule = LifeColorful

7.2C.C$8.3C$9.C!
I have reduced the glider cost of quadratic growth to eight and probably to seven. Looking for conduits...

Tropylium: A collection of patterns meant to introduce the important aspects of a rule. Originated from the MilhinSA pattern collection, where the folder named "tropylium" contained such patterns (I didn't know that it was a user on here).

Would it be fair to call the pattern resulting from an eight-cell-long line "honey factory", once and for all?

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 8, rule = B3/S23

I've been thinking about what to name this sequence, which is a fairly common sequence that forms a traffic light and glider and has a two-glider synthesis (but unlike four skewed blocks, isn't anywhere close to the only way it forms).

I've been thinking of the name "eyes". This particular generation looks a bit like a hooded figure.

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 3, rule = B3/S23
b3o$obob2o$6o!
The name "eyes" is in potential conflict with this traffic light predecessor, though.

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 5, rule = B3/S23
bo3bo$obobobo$b5o$2b3o$3bo!

As for the honey factory post before mine, I have no problem with it. While it's not that common, it's definitely recognizable, and it forms from a line of eight.

(I don't have a frequency estimate for it, unfortunately. My calculations say it's slightly rarer than the aircraft carrier, but it doesn't seem anywhere near that common. It appears the list of common evolutionary sequences thread greatly overstates rare orthogonally symmetric objects like the pulsar, four rectangular blocks, and this.)

What's wrong with "traffic light and glider" or "TLG"?
