Fixed, fixed, explained below, fixed, included, and fixed. One of your H-to-QBs was really a composite H-to-pi and pi-to-QB, so I moved that one. Silver reflectors aren't really elementary, but it's a pain to reconstruct them from elementary pieces, so I threw in the standard G-to-3G, the 575-tick Silver G-to-H, and a tricky handy 497-tick G-to-H variant.simsim314 wrote:1. This is not a basic conduit - but rather uses some nice not trivial trick to combine two conduits. Two other conduits can be trivially combined to give the same result, so I would suggest to paint it yellow...
2. H->B that uses the first natural B from Herschel (like in the conduit above), is not spartan in your collection. It does the same as the newly spartan finding...
4. G-> G4 for some reason uses state3 of LifeHistory instead of state1 like all other conduits. 5. I've posted new Pi->QB see few messages above...
6. I'm very close to find something that works for QB (some annoying debris are always left, but this is just matter of time until we find some normal QB conduit), so please keep the track for those.
7. I'm somehow missing silver reflector. It should be considered basic spartan G->H at least for now.
The white state-3 H-to-G4s are definitely not elementary conduits -- there's a trivial prefixed H-to-B -- so they don't really belong in this collection. But they're the most useful Spartan transmitter/merge/splitter circuits in the toolkit, so I wanted them in the stamp collection anyway, right there in the row of H-to-G(small n).
Unlike the rest of the yellow stuff, the H-to-G4s are not particularly oversized, so a different color seemed like a good idea. Whoever takes over the maintenance of the collection can change it, I don't mind (I've got my own copy the way I want it now...!)
I included the G12 and another similar one in the plain H-to-G collection, blocking off the first natural glider. At around G10 the average complexity of the conduits started going up, and I didn't feel like making any more labels...!simsim314 wrote:3. Why did you stopped at H->G8? There were few pretty cool above G8. I had one very simple G12. You posted G18->G so why stop at G8?
I included H-to-G(n) for single-digit n, just as samples of what will eventually be a much larger collection that I don't want to include here. As a rough rule of thumb, I think H-to-G(n) should be included here mostly when a G(n) is a known input to another conduit. So I would include a G13 now if we had one, but we don't particularly need a G12 at the moment. Paul Callahan's G18 seems like a special case of a really useful piece of circuitry, and there's no other obvious place to put it.
Otherwise, all of these H-to-G(n) will end up in a separate H-to-G(n) converter collection, whenever I get around to that (at this rate it may be a while...) It will include both elementary and composite conduits, so I won't have to worry about whether they should count as elementary or not.
Anyway nice to see that ship:)
