Okay, so this ate the blocks and still made a pulsar in a different place. Progress I guess.

Should we make a different thread for this?

by putting another set of two blocks somewhere near the top, we can make it so it goes back to the same place. therefore, if the blocks didnt get eaten, it would make a p30 pre-pulsar hassler.

x = 9, y = 16, rule = B3/S23

Pre-pulsar. No pulsar actually forms here

I think I discovered the period-145 glider gun by simply taking away some structures from the period-435 gun.
AFAICS there seems to be no period-145 gun anywhere on the internet yet.
I'm a bit baffled that no one seems to have thought of this before, tbh...

There are several known ways to construct a p145 gun in CGoL. Your example uses a p5-assisted Herschel track, and Herschel tracks were the most practical method for adjustable guns until the discovery of the syringe; hooking up a syringe to a H-2G and some reflectors (or another syringe) is currently the best known method by bounding box for adjustable-period gun construction. Here is the current smallest p145 gun, from the Catagolue page:

Catagolue's guntrue page (https://catagolue.hatsya.com/census/b3s ... ts/guntrue) contains all periods from 14-999 (minus the seven true periods currently unknown) and select periods above 1000, and is the reference I usually use for gun building. (The tabulation is long and annoying; to find a specific period, type in https://catagolue.hatsya.com/object/guntrue_[the period you want to find]/b3s23.

Thanks!

Thanks for the infos, guys. Didn't know that "Catalogue" page yet. Always just used the wiki here on conwaylife.com as reference. (But also a Google search for "period 145 glider gun" didn't really turn up anything useful.)

gun_145 guntrue_145

What's supposed to be the difference between those two? They seem to be identical...

[confocaloid]

In this case, currently, both pages show the same glider gun.

In general, the "guntrue_NNNN" pages on Catagolue always show true period glider guns. (A true period gun is one where the period of the gun mechanism is equal to the period of the resulting output glider stream.)

On the other hand, the "gun_NNNN" pages on Catagolue can show pseudo period glider guns instead, if there is a smaller known pseudo period gun. (A pseudo period gun is one where the period of the gun mechanism is a multiple of the period of the resulting output glider stream.)

Check for example gun_120 vs. guntrue_120 (currently they are different), or gun_17 (which currently shows a pseudo period gun) vs. guntrue_17 (which doesn't currently show any gun, because no true period 17 gun is currently known).

It's apgcode, but if you go to the object page for the apgcode, it will give you the RLE. Example: xs4_33 or xp2_7
