Smallest Spaceships Supporting Specific Speeds (5s) Project

[wwei23]

I found a smaller 2c/6 with average population 3.3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333...:

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 3, rule = B2-a3cinq4nw/S1
bo2$2o!

Compare this with the old 2c/6 with an average population of 7:

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 3, rule = B2ce3ejnr4ceinwy5acn6an7e/S01e3j4cejkrty
o$bo$o!

In the new rule, this happens to the old spaceship:

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 3, rule = B2-a3cinq4nw/S1
o$bo$o!

It can be stabilized into a 12c/24, but suboptimal...
10c/56:

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 7, rule = B2-a3cinq4enw/S1e
2bo$o2b2o$2b2o$o5bo$bo2b3o$4bo$6bo!

The rule also supports the c/7 I mentioned earlier.

Spaceship, anyone? It's a 16c/32 gone wrong:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 2, rule = B2-a3cinq4nw/S12
bo$obo!

This is legit, but do not spam 3s. It causes code tags to be shifted over. There is also a 3-cell 8c/16. The collection exists for a reason, and check it before posting. You don't need to post evolutions of patterns in rules.

I checked the wrong file, it seems.

I have a page for the first 7 periods, that will eventually have the first ten, with all known and unknown, but theoretically possible speeds. Feel free to add in the rest from the uploaded files. I will try to add in some of it.

Looks nice so far!
Still rooting for the Niemiec-style table idea but let's get the fundamentals out of the way first.

[muzik]

Will LtL rules be allowed in the collection? There's some pretty exotic speeds in said rules.

[BlinkerSpawn]

Will LtL rules be allowed in the collection? There's some pretty exotic speeds in said rules.

If we allow LtL rules, then we have to allow faster-than-light speeds, which is just going to make the database ten times as big.

Gotta catch em all.

Although, if it does become a major enough problem, we could restrict the database to c or slower.

[AforAmpere]

Let's not include LTL or Generations, that would be too much.

Can I poke you now?

I found a marginally better c/4 orthogonal, by average population, beating the previous record holder by 3/4 of a cell:

That's a little better:
