A weird p4:

No kidding; I don't even recognize it. Here it is in single-quadrant form using the first stabilizer that worked:

A slight variant is in the jslife collection.

I don't know why you'd think that's a bad thing, because I really enjoy symmetrical soup searches, you can find some very interesting results that usually won't show up in standard soups.

I've been doing soup searches recently with a modified version of apgsearch, which includes a few things:

• The hashsoup() function returns the soup as a cell list, rather than placement directly, so it can be used to create proper temporary soup files.
• Includes the ~9000 common names dict, plus a few more additions of my own(primarily symmetric objects).
• The inclusion of symmetry options, including a prompt for it after rule selection, addition to the latest_census.html file, and the search_(...).txt file at the top, so you know which files have certain symmetry options or not.

Most likely later today, I'll explain more on how the symmetries are handled in the main apgsearch thread, and I'll include the mentioned hacked version of the script.

Oooh! It creates itself by internal glider synthesis!

Finally, a p180 puffer with 2 LWSS's escorting a pair of B heptominoes:

Awesome. As far as I know, the current status of soup-generated spaceships and puffers is:

• glider
• LWSS
• MWSS
• HWSS
• block-laying switch engine
• glider-producing switch engine
• MWSS on MWSS
• LWSS on HWSS
• HWSS on HWSS
• Schick engine behind two MWSSes
• pufferfish
• yl180_1_258_ef0e50becbd2cafd03ab726bd78bf90e

Bold indicates natural (i.e. generated in an asymmetric soup), whereas non-bold indicates semi-natural.

[Scorbie]

Nice... but the two patterns seem to be the same, and what do the names mean?

[Freywa]

What do the names mean?

Shuriken literally means a shuriken (Japanese throwing weapon, a metal star), which the pattern resembles. I was going to call feisty rat king since it looked like the tails of four rats joined together, but since the stator was four snakes which looked like they were fighting I gave the current name instead. P.S. the mess-up above has been fixed.

[flipper77]

The second pattern is already known as snake dance.
