I like the idea of offering bounties for patterns of interest.

I'm working on this one right now. Not sure how to approach the other two.

Nice! I believe that's only the second known rake/puffer slower than c, after your c/5 backrake:

Code: Select all

x = 57, y = 18, rule = s0/b2

42bo!
And the other looks to be the smallest-period side rake there is, and the first sideways rake that's not a flotilla. Good finds! I'd love to add them to the wiki, let me know if you want to name them.

Feel free to name them as you see fit. Thanks for keeping track of all the patterns in this rule.
Here's another c p4 side rake:

And a c p6 side rake. The basic mechanism creates some debris, so a flotilla is required to clean it up.

Awesome, keep them coming! That p2 c backrake is the first known rake or puffer at p2.

Wow, those are great! It's always cool to see something new as small as that p8. And the wick in that p4 is an interesting mechanism.

I've finished cataloguing these new patterns. They are the hippo rake, zipper rake, plow trailer, combine trailer, hex rake, sparkler, big six shooter stack, shortwave, and longwave. Good stuff!

A family of p4 c/2 ships which have even bilateral symmetry and like the rhino ship and elephant ship are based on the p8 dust mite ship's c/2 engine. There are four different ships and two different tagalongs. One tagalong is only supported by one ship, but it also supports the other tagalong (which doesn't require the bilateral symmetry). These were found with gfind and wls. gfind found the first ship with width 26 which is what I used in wls to find the others. I suspect that there are many more combinations of the components shown in these ships which would allow many more instances of this family at larger widths. Even at width 26 I'm sure longer instances exist, I only searched up to length 100.

I'm mainly posting these as I happened across them whilst trying to learn how to use the different search tools. I've also tried searching at speeds without known spaceships, but those searches have been unsuccessful up until now. The p4 c/2 search was to convince myself that I was on the right track

You are most welcome to add them and anything else I post here. I don't have any ideas for names - or whether you might want to name them individually or collectively. Are you interested in wider examples? The crab ship shows that the same mechanism in the p4 c/2 engine supports other components which extend the width.

In fact, I decided to start a search before posting and here are a few results. I thought the wider search might show up some other interesting ships, but it's now found a backrake and is exploring the many different permutations thereof. I'm currently exploring the p8 c/2 space instead to see what else shows up there.

p4 c/2 with the same engine (search at width 32, tagalongs added manually):

I've added a page for the spaceships as a group and a separate page for the rake to the wiki: they are the buffalo ships and buffalo rake. The buffalo rake is now the smallest known c/2 puffer or rake.

I'm planning to release an updated version of the file collection soon, which will include all the different buffalo ships you've posted here.

Thanks again!

Hi again,

The small tagalong you posted is catalogued as the buffalo bird. It's remarkably versatile: it can be attached to the dust mite ship, crab ship, rhino ship, elephant ship, and Eppstein's slow ship as well as the spaceships and rake you posted (in other words, a large majority of the known c/2 objects.)

This is because it's hardly connected to the object that carries it at all: it only requires the presence of two live cells in its third generation, and otherwise just needs to be isolated. The two cells it needs are diagonally adjacent and conveniently appear as part of the plus and many other sparks, so it's likely that it can hop onto a majority of the c/2 craft that remain to be found.

Very cool!

I love the name. It is indeed very versatile. I just noticed that I made a mistake in my first post:
wildmyron wrote:A family of p4 c/2 ships which have even bilateral symmetry and like the rhino ship and elephant ship are based on the p8 dust mite ship's c/2 engine. There are four different ships and two different tagalongs.
There are actually three ships and three tagalongs, and I just realised that one of the tagalongs is identical to the tail end of the rhino ship (but in this case is required to keep the ship stable). It can be replaced by the larger version like so:

I also found a few p3 puffers - one a slight variation of the tricycle puffer and the other a single dot puffer:

I wonder if this pattern could be stabilised into a growing ship:

46bo3bo$51bo$51bo$50bo!
I've got some searches for new spaceship velocities running in the background. So far p6 looks pretty promising, at both c/3 and c/6. c/7 also looks like it is in with a chance. I've pretty much restricted all my longer searches to bilateral symmetry as that seems to result in the best partial patterns. Once a few ongoing searches finish, I'll post a summary of unsuccessful searches and most promising partials.
lukebradford wrote:$25.00 for any moon reflector, that is, a stable or oscillating pattern that reflects a moon without suffering damage.
Does anyone have any ideas for a starting point with this challenge? I looked for a small, one time 90deg reflector to give an idea for a starting point, but everything that does reflect the moon explodes. Seeing as the only gun found so far is rather large, does this indicate any reflector is also likely to be very large?

It would be very cool to stabilize that pattern. Jason Summers managed to do it in Seeds (where the wave itself is identical):

Glad to hear some new speeds are looking promising. As for the moon reflector, I'm not sure where to begin either. Because the moon is so small, I have some hopes that there is some simple reaction with an oscillator that happens to eat the old moon and produce a new moon, but I have no real understanding of how likely or unlikely this is. Here's a tiny one-use-only 180-degree reflector:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 7, rule = B2/S0

This stabilizes the wave, but leaves behind some debris.

Code: Select all

x = 140, y = 140, rule = B2/S0

I'll keep looking for something cleaner, or with debris that's easier to clean up.

That is fantastic. Were you inspired by the Seeds version which seems to be quite different? If not, I'm very curious to know how you came up with the front end to support the wave.
The 5S project (Smallest Spaceships Supporting Specific Speeds) is now maintained by AforAmpere. The latest collection is hosted on GitHub and contains well over 1,000,000 spaceships.

I noticed the wave repeats itself every 6 generations, so I needed a period 6 speed c ship to carry the wave. I used winlifesearch to look for a ship with the wave in the front area and put some "don't care" cells where the wave would extend off the top and bottom of the screen. This is the same technique I used to find moon siderakes. If my description is not clear, here's a picture and a link to the wls file.

Also, here's a clean version, featured in the above files:

Thanks for the explanation. I hadn't realised how to use 'don't care' cells in wls until now.

Edit: Here's a slightly smaller variation on the theme. I nearly always turn off the "Try ON cells if they have greater impact" option which seems to find smaller versions of extensible patterns earlier in the search - though I'm not sure if it had an effect on your search with "First try cells with the greatest impact" turned off.
