Very strange reaction.
Strange in the sense of being a multiple interaction? The block is turned into a boat which is turned into an angel which is turned into a spark.

Sometime, the usefulness of something you found might not be where you intended to from the search. I mean, here you have a nice circuit that could intercept a glider to make an H, all of that with spartan circuitry:

Code: Select all

x = 125, y = 126, rule = LifeHistory

$7.A.A$9.A!
It might be nice for certain spartan circuits, since that could avoid having to use the spartan syringe, which is quite constrained valid follow up with the dependent block. That being said, I could not find a way to intercept that natural glider, which comes crashing with that block... maybe another boat factory might work. In any case, for now the dependent case works, with a neat (maybe) double use eater (thought I assume constructing 2 eater instead is less costly, just for flavor):

Thanks a lot for your answer :)
Nice constructions you've made.
How I found it ?
By working on a Pi Heisenburp, i use the pi-heisenburp reaction and add a Block.
The result is a Boat if a Glider is present, nothing if not.

Code: Select all

x = 38, y = 14, rule = B3/S23
6b2o$6bobo$6bo5$3o27b3o$2bo29bo$3o27b3o3$6b2o28b2o$6b2o28b2o!
Then i searched some interesting reactions Boat+Glider. There's one which produces a Wing.
So I use the "Wing signal" to have à Herschel. I don't know the name of the component i used, I'd grabbed it on a composite conduit (by observation).
But this one-time conduit (on my mind) can not be connected to the Pi+Block+Glider reaction.

Thanks for your sharing ;)
