B2/S0/C4 (another multiple-state rule)

[Extrementhusiast]

This is the thread for this particular rule. It initially appears Brain-like (with four colors), but then settles down. A simple breeder:

Code: Select all

11.
..1

I had to do visuals because it was so small.

[Axaj]

I've done a good bit of research in this rule.

Here are the c/2 spaceships so far:

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 3, rule = 0/2/4
.B6.B.AC$B.B5.ABCA$ABA7.A!

Here are the oscillators so far:

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 4, rule = 0/2/4
2.A6.A$.A6.A$A6.A$10.A!

That breeder you posted is a pattern which I have been trying to stabilize into a c/12 diagonal spaceship for quite some time. Hmm, what other object with infinite growth that moves at c/12 diagonal has become a spaceship? Anyways, this is the farthest I've gotten:

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 15, rule = 0/2/4
3.2A$3.2BA$2.A2CBA$2.A2.CBA4.A$.ACA2.CBA$2.B2CBA.CBA$2.A2BA3.CBA$3.2A
4.CBA7$A!

Another oscillator (p26, I think):

Code: Select all

1......
.1.....
..13...
..3.3..
...31..
.....1.

The infinite growth thing that you were talking about is probably a switch engine. Here is a breeder:

Code: Select all

x = 61, y = 73, rule = 0/2/4

This breeder is puffer-shooting-wickstrecher breeder! amazing!

Interesting rule. I found a spaceship with an arm of arbitrary size:

You need to enter the x, y and rule name, like this:

Code: Select all

x=7, y=7, rule=0/2/4
A$.A$2.AC$2.C.C$3.CA$5.A$6.A!

EDIT:
The tagalong:

Code: Select all

x = 81, y = 76, rule = 0/2/4
$64.AB$64.B.B$64.AB.AC$68.AC!

[azulavoir]

With analogy to Brian's Brain and Live Free or Die, I'm going to call this rule Think Free or Die.

[Quantum-mechanics]

With analogy to Brian's Brain and Live Free or Die, I'm going to call this rule Think Free or Die.

It’s also like the Star Wars.

It's also like FireWorld too.

[Yoel]

More like Star Wars (also 4 states).

It's also like FireWorld too.

[b-engine]

In fact I'd investigated the rule before the topic was created; I'd been trying to corderize the slow moving spiral growth:

Code: Select all

x = 85, y = 86, rule = 0/2/4
.A83$A.A$.BA$.A82.A!

EDIT:
Better:

Code: Select all

x = 112, y = 117, rule = 0/2/4
28.A81$A110.A2$27.A.A$28.BA$28.A31$25.A!

[eRroR_6o6]

puffer

Code: Select all

x = 30, y = 18, rule = 0/2/4
6$9.AB$9.ABC.A$11.A2BA$13.B$13.AC$14.BC$14.2A!

Edit: closest i've been to stabilization of the breeder

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 10, rule = 0/2/4
9.A3$3.A$3.A$4.A3$.A!

[Quantum-mechanics]

puffer

Code: Select all

RLE

…

This isn’t puffer.

[eRroR_6o6]

puffer

Code: Select all

This isn’t puffer.

ye it's technically a puffer with a wickstretcher
i haven't found a way to remove the wickstretcher though

[WRAPboi]

I have been studdying this for a long time, and i didn't find anything on it, so I thought I made it, but now, you found the TAGALONG, BOTH SLOWSHIPS, A THIRD OSCILLATOR, AND A WAY TO BREED INFINITE WAVES??? i wish i knew about this earlier...

[WRAPboi]

you've found everything I have! GG.
I found these wonderful patterns:

[WRAPboi]

think free or die should have a page on the wiki.

Code: Select all

x=0, y=0, rule=0/2/4
!

fixed viewer --hotdogPi

[b-engine]

think free or die should have a page on the wiki.

I don't think so. This rule do not have enough notability to justify wiki page.

[WRAPboi]

neither did bug'smovie...

[b-engine]

neither did bug'smovie...

If you mean Bugsmovie, I would say that it has historical significance (included in MCell).

[WRAPboi]

well, this has SOME significance!

[ThePlayzr]

well, this has SOME significance!

Make yourself a user page (User:WRAPboi). Then, make a page under User:WRAPboi/PlusTwo or User:WRAPboi/Think free or die. Then, it doesn't really need to be notable, because the page will be hidden under normal searches (when doing a search, click the 'everything' button, and then it will come up). But, do not take this as a reason to make a bunch of random pages under your user.
Also, 4 more c/2 tagalongs:

Code: Select all

x = 24, y = 9, rule = 0/2/4
.A5.A5.A7.A$ACA3.ACA3.ACA5.ACA$CAC3.CAC3.CAC5.CAC$.C5.C5.C7.C$2.2A4.2A
4.2A6.2A$AB2C3.A2C3.A2C5.A2C$B6.C5.CA6.CA$14.CBA5.CA$16.B6.C!

Very easy to find with rlifesrc.
There don't appear to be any more though...

[R2INT]

Here is a c/3 spaceship:

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 4, rule = 0/2/4
2.A.A$.A.B.A$CACBCAC$AC3.CA!

[ThePlayzr]

Here is a c/3 spaceship:

They can connect together:
