True period glider based adjustable slope ships, an example at (3,1)c/156:

I manage the 5S project, which collects all known spaceship speeds in Isotropic Non-totalistic rules. I also wrote EPE, a tool for searching in the INT rulespace.

Things to work on:
- Find (7,1)c/8 and 9c/10 ships in non-B0 INT.
- EPE improvements.

Do you mean examples in this rule? You can shift the edges to create higher period versions, like this (3,1)c/172:

Code: Select all

x = 30, y = 31, rule = B2i3-ceqr4akt5cek6cn7e/S2aek3ajnr4inwz5n6a

This rule was found with EnumPattEvo, a search program I wrote. Link.

Adjustable period knightships of the form (2,1)c/(4n+3), n>=9:

Here's a rule with adjustable-speed wickstretchers and adjustable-direction spacefillers:
[B2i3ainqr4ai5ainy6-i78/S2-a3a4r5ain6-i78]
Said features can be realized in the outer-totalistic rule Plow World:

It works in the following rulespace, but I don't think there are any adjustable spaceships based on it here.

Code: Select all

|isorulemin       = B3aijn7c/S3ain4anr5acijn6ac78
|isorulemax       = B2ikn34-a5-ai6-a78/S012345678
Besides, there is a natural LWoD-like ladder that can be stopped with a single dot:

Code: Select all

x = 21, y = 8, rule = B378/S012345678

Here are the two adjustable ships with just 3 cells (the smallest possible population) that I discovered in August 2020 and posted on the Discord but not here until now. (Posting since lemon41625 wanted to nominate them for DOTY.)

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 1, rule = B2ce3kry4ackqry5ciry6ack/S02-c3-akqr4-ajnqy5aejqr6ei7

Code: Select all

Not only that, the first rule is apgsearchable and has a period-tripling mechanism for the adjustable spaceships:

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 1, rule = B2ce3kry4ackqry5ciry6ack/S02-c3-akqr4-ajnqy5aejqr6ei7

There is even a parabolic sawtooth:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 17, rule = B2ce3kry4ackqry5ciry6ack/S02-c3-akqr4-ajnqy5aejqr6ei7

[An adjustable glider+block collision based spaceship]
This rule was found with EnumPattEvo, a search program I wrote.
Not quite understand how to enter the RLEs. For example, I'd like to find a Harvest Moon relative where the following G+checkerboard collision evolves in a suitable manner:

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 11, rule = B3-ckr5y/S2-i3-aek4ci5c
bbo$obo$boo$$bbbbbbbo$bbbbbbobo$bbbbbobobo$bbbbobobobo$bbbbbobobo$bbbbbbobo$bbbbbbbo!
Then how do I enter the rulespace, offset of the checkerboard (since it has to be diagonal and perpendicular to the glider lane) and displacement of the glider (since it has to turn 180 degrees on a different lane forward)?

The existing RwSAS was a method of shifting objects from their original place after collision. The idea I came up with is to switch the direction or speed instead of shifting the components from their original position with each collision.
I placed two c2o spaceships both pattern's front and back, then c1o photon between them. After that, I designed it to turn 180 degree for every collision, but I couldn't get any satisfactory results. So, I rewrited the blueprint from start to finish.
the entire design was rewritten to move one or more c1o signals to the side of the expandable tube-shaped c2o spaceship. And then.. I finally got following perfect results.

Next time, I'll do a search using something other faster than c2o to make it have more wider speed range.
Can small adjustable spaceships overrun the speed limit of (|x|+|y|)/P = 1?

Here is kind of box ship with adjustable speed and period multiplying capabilities.

Fantastic to see some more adjustable spaceships with this kind of design that allows an adjustable step as well as adjustable period. This has (in part) prompted me to finally post the anti-photon in a box spaceship I found last year. In some sense yours is even nicer because it allows any number of internal anti-spaceships whereas mine is limited to an odd number (because they travel at 2c/2 and the bounce reaction is determined by the phase, while in the design above there are two different c/2 anti-spaceships).

I was inspired to try this design by Saka's box spaceships which were posted here and in the ConwayLife Lounge Discord server in the first half of last year. I actually posted the initial search result to the Discord server on 2020-05-18 (and it made a brief appearance here on the forum too). The principle is that a p2 anti-photon in a rectangular region of On cells can be reflected by a boundary, and when it does it creates a wave which either grows or shrinks the rectangle by one cell - which wave is created is determined by antiphoton's parity (which phase the antiphoton is in when it is reflected). The nice thing about the reflection creating a wave is that the width of the spaceship need not be fixed like it is in many of the other similar spaceships, so these spaceships have separately adjustable period and population.

Macbi mentioned that the speed of spaceships based on this mechanism could be adjusted by changing the number of antiphotons. Despite expecting it wouldn't work, I got stuck on the idea of having two antiphotons inside the spaceship - and as suspected it didn't work out because of parity restrictions. I went to sleep and during my slumber there was a flurry of activity on the Discord server.

A for Awesome posted the first spaceship with three antiphotos and a subsequent discussion and posting of results (involving AforAmpere, A for Awesome, Blinkerspawn, bubblegum, Macbi, and sarp) found the following range of spaceship speeds:

4n+1/80n+7+4m, n>=0 and m>=0 (except if n=0 then m>=2) and 4n+3/80n+49+4m, n>=0 and m>=0

So these spaceships are actually adjustable in three separate (but slightly dependent) ways: the step, the period, and the population.

It seems that the parity constraints prevent construction of oscillators but I don't think this restriction applies to silversmith's design above. However, A for Awesome did post this interesting linear growth spacefiller:

Code: Select all

Here is some adjustable ships I found before.

<snip>

The existing RwSAS was a method of shifting objects from their original place after collision. The idea I came up with is to switch the direction or speed instead of shifting the components from their original position with each collision.
I placed two c2o spaceships both pattern's front and back, then c1o photon between them. After that, I designed it to turn 180 degree for every collision, but I couldn't get any satisfactory results. So, I rewrited the blueprint from start to finish.
the entire design was rewritten to move one or more c1o signals to the side of the expandable tube-shaped c2o spaceship. And then.. I finally got following perfect results.

○ (2b)/(13+4b+4a), a = [0,+Inf), b = [0,+Inf)

Code: Select all

Next time, I'll do a search using something other faster than c2o to make it have more wider speed range.
That is a beautiful design. I look forward to seeing your further results.

But they said 4n/16n+4, which simplifies to 17/4.
EDIT: I will retract my statement about some of the ships exploding. That's due to the ships hitting each other with sparks.

That's not how these formulae work (clearly, none of the ships move at 17c/4). Nobody applies maths to speeds. The correct simplification is 4n/4(4n+1) == n/4n+1 times c, and we don't like simplifying speeds around here.

None of them are faster than c. (None of them are the same speed either.) A speed is a fraction, with everything on the left as the numerator and everything on the right as the denominator.

But you still need the parenthesis so that it complies with PEMDAS. (Can we take this to a different thread?)
