Symbiosis

P8 sparker:

Code: Select all

x = 14, y = 9, rule = Symbiosis

All I can really do is mess around until I find a suitable P16 sparker.

I cannot specifically search for a particular period (at least using my current method), but I will attempt to adjust my search method so that it is more likely to find oscillators with smaller periods.

Well, I did mean messing around until P14/15/16 showed up anyways, so...
Hey, at least we get sparks at all sorts of periods!

I think that I overadjusted slightly. This oscillator has period ten.

Code: Select all

.B.B$B.A.A$.A.3AB$4.A.A$5.AB!

Edit: Maybe not, as this has period 203.

Deleting a beehive would probably result in a lower-period oscillator, though.

[wwei23]

And now we have a random P26.

I actually found a p97 when I first logged in that became a p15 if I removed a blinker eater, but I lost it before I posted it.

[wwei23]

If you look at the P18 and P17 guns, you'll see that they both make their gliders using this two-spark combo. It seems like that these two sparks are ones that are more easily inserted at a corner. This might be the key to P14, P15, and P16.

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 5, rule = LifeHistory
4.E$4.E$C.C$2.C$2.C!

EDIT: Such a spark combination would work at P14:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 9, rule = LifeHistory
2.E.E.E2$3.3E2$2C$3C$.C4.A$C3.A.A$5.2A!

EDIT 2: The reason why this spark pair works so well is because you're inserting from the side. Other pairs tend to take longer to form, which is a problem when you only have 14 generations to work with.

They're still worth posting, you never know when you're going to need this weird spark or that weird spark to catalyze something, and Symbiosis tends to generate a lot of weird sparks.

Sorry. As wwei23 mentioned earlier, this oscillator search is pretty unorganized.

And it's not like we could have a pattern collection of all known oscillators, since, well, good luck finding any particular oscillator in that!
