B2c/S
Time crystals-not known to explode. Can spaceships or infinite growth exist? I don't think so. In fact, the time crystals sometimes have periods nearly impossible to measure. I can't get the period of this one or whatever it evolves into. Warning-Extremely large.
Similar crystals exist in B3/S5. To convert from B2c/S to B3/S5, for every original cell, add one south, one east, and one southeast.
▓░to▓▓
░░to▓▓
Now, because the B2c/S version is too large, and because Google Docx crashed when I tried to paste the RLE THERE and add a link, I will use the much smaller B3/S5 version.

Code: Select all

<snip> rle for large filled rectangle

This type of structured pattern is much better represented (and run) in a hash format. Change the Golly algorithm to HashLife and then you can save the file in macrocell format. Here it is:

This runs nicely with a step of 2^8 or even 2^10. If performance slows, you may be able to improve things by increasing the amount of memory available to the HashLife alogorithm (in Preferences -> Control -> Settings for this algorithm: HashLife)

Alas, why does the RLE in the B2c/S version say "bo" so much?

RLE format is hopeless at compressing patterns with vertical lines or checkerboard patterns. Compare these three representations:

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 9, rule = B3/S23
10o2$10o2$10o2$10o2$10o!
[[ NOGUI THEME 6 WIDTH 96 HEIGHT 96 ]]

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 9, rule = B2c/S
obobobobo2$obobobobo2$obobobobo2$obobobobo2$obobobobo!
[[ NOGUI THEME 6 WIDTH 96 HEIGHT 96 ]]

Code: Select all

obobobobo$obobobobo$obobobobo!
[[ NOGUI THEME 6 WIDTH 96 HEIGHT 96 ]]

By the way, it should be "unrecognized," not the way it was spelled in the title. My spellcheck verifies that this was a mistake, spelling it with an "s."

"-ised" is the UK English form of "-ized". Most spell checkers installed by default use US English, and therefor indicate the UK English spelling forms as errors. The same applies to neighborhood / neighbourhood; center / centre; license / licence; and catalog / catalogue (US version followed by UK version). In general most people are accepting of both spellings, but it is preferable to be consistent with usage. When publishing you may be expected to conform to usage of one or the other, depending on the publisher.

The "bo" thing was just a joke, I got the idea from 83bismuth38's signature. I also sent it over to him(her?), to be funny. I have not gotten a reply yet.

SERIOUSLY YOU'RE STILL POKING AROUND TOTALISTIC RULES! This is equivalent to me poking around semi-uncommon VHS tapes/cassettes/floppies. Tell me, why are you still doing this?

I am still poking around totalistic rules for two reasons:

A. They are easier for me to understand, so I can follow what's going on.
B. I've been using http://lazyslug.com/lifeview to look at rules other than B3/S23. That page only gives access to totalistic rules, but makes it easier for me to change the rule whenever I want (with a single click, I can toggle a birth or survival condition on or off).

Also, poking around a certain totalistic rule (specifically, B3/S23) seems not to have fallen out of popularity here. Sure, that's what this site is all about, but it's still technically a totalistic rule.

A. With totalistic rules, I only have to count how many live cells are around a given cell. This also makes it easier for me to invert a rule if I see an interesting pattern of dead cells in the midst of live cells.
However, non-totalistic rules have much more complicated birth and survival requirements, and there are many more of them. I have not memorized any, much less every, one of them.

B. I've not downloaded Golly. Mind you, I'm considering doing so, but I share this computer. I can't download stuff onto it without permission.

I've noticed that Ab*scrolls down to get correct spelling*hpzTa's guns are all of the "over-unity reaction + reflectors = gun" kind.
You can easily find guns of this sort on your own if you experiment with glider+glider(s) and glider+sparky oscillator collisions.
Provided you find workable pieces, all that's left is a bit of modular math and some assembly and you've got yourself a gun.

Any way for this slow growth to actually work?

Your suggestion would be more powerful if you included an example.

No, because the debris is dropped on the glider lane.
