Snowflakes (B2ci3ai4c8/S02ae3eijkq4iz5ar6i7e)

[2718281828]

A couple more or less non-trivial tagalongs for p4 spaceships:

An interesting p20:

x = 14, y = 24, rule = B2ci3ai4c8/S02ae3eijkq4iz5ar6i7e

$12bo$2b2o2bo2b2ob2o$3bob3obo2bo$bo4bo4b2o$5b3o$6bo$4bo3bo!

which gives a temporary R (strictly even two). It can be extended to an almost R gun, something like an R-crawler gun:

Code: Select all

Maybe someone finds a way to detach them from the wall (or transform it to a glider).

If we make an orthogonoid-like ship in this rule, would it be the first self-constructing spaceship that's not in CGoL?

I did quite a bit of searching with ntgfind, but the only thing I found is this glide-symmetric c/3:

Two different c/3 spaceships, orthogonal with period 6:

No, this title goes to Serizawa, I think.

Related p36 gun (should allow for arbitrary periods of 40+8n, too, but also 36 for some reason):

Not sure if it is known. We have direct R guns for all periods 36+4n as an eater can be added to make the snowflake to an R to G reflector for both states:

I also found a p12 switch type reflector, not sure if it is useful, its function (shown left) is slightly different to the simple stable switch (right):

With a suitable sparker we can obtain other periods as well - the p12 was the smallest I found.

The 28-cell universal catalyst/invincible structure I posted has been dethroned!

First, a smaller bounding box variant:

My apgsearch runs found this p19 gun predecessor:

Looks far enough for a synthesis, and maybe even a breeder.

[2718281828]

This 2G+R reaction can insert an R into a salvo and is gunable:

Unfortunately this does not give us an p32 pseudo G gun.

For some reasons we can also construct a p=31 salvo, but only when every second R has a different colour. So a proper p=31 pseudo gun is not possible using this principle.

EDIT1:
more on R guns:
A found a p3 2G to R converter which works on two periods:

Code: Select all

x = 71, y = 19, rule = B2ci3ai4c8/S02ae3eijkq4iz5ar6i7e

2o$4b3o23b3o21b3o$6bo25bo23bo8$14b3o23b3o21b3o$14bobo23bobo21bobo!

This has a minimal repeat time of 21, so it works for p=21+ 3n:

Code: Select all

x = 29, y = 32, rule = B2ci3ai4c8/S02ae3eijkq4iz5ar6i7e

Nice guns, Blinkerspawn!

Another gun predecessor:

9bo3$2bo$2b2o$2bo2$o9b2o$8bo2bo$8b2o!

This looks easier because of lack of cleanup dots.

Also, could these be made into a clean pull reaction? It unfortunately leaves the R:

x = 25, y = 71, rule = B2ci3ai4c8/S02ae3eijkq4iz5ar6i7e

If this ends up working, an arbitrarily slow spaceship could most likely be made (if we could get an g->r in there somewhere), and that would be freaking awesome.

EDIT: (post below)

If some dot-pulling reaction was found, that sent a spaceship back the opposite way, that would also allow a arbitrarily slow ship.

Yes but that is less likely to be found without some sort of search program (winks and nudges at script writers, or me if I get off my rear and learn more lua)

(These are technically slow salvos even though they're über-compressed. you can also generate a few extras by triggering the reflection reaction with an r instead of a glider.)

What I meant was one of the C/2's goes at a collection of dots, gets reflected, and the dots are pulled as well.

These inserters allow us to construct (pseudo) G guns for all periods p>20 (with the results above also R guns for 21+3n).
For illustration a pseudo p21 G gun, quite large as the salvo construction has a repeat time larger than 42, so in fact a two Gs of period 84 are inserted into a p42 salvo:

What I meant was one of the C/2's goes at a collection of dots, gets reflected, and the dots are pulled as well.

A partial reaction, that demonstrates my meaning:

Code: Select all

x = 22, y = 7, rule = B2ci3ai4c8/S02ae3eijkq4iz5ar6i7e
11bo$9b5o2bo$2o7bo3bo7bo$bo6b2obob2o2bo$2o7bo3bo$9b5o2bo$11bo!

It would have been a C/72 spaceship:

Code: Select all

I did quite a bit of searching with ntgfind, but the only thing I found is this glide-symmetric c/3:

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 8, rule = B2ci3ai4c8/S02ae3eijkq4iz5ar6i7e

I doubt anyone can synthesize it though.

This glide-symmetric c/3 spaceship gives an almost puffer/rake, but it dies after a couple of generations, as the debris kills it. I did not find a way to stabilize it, maybe someone finds a way:

Code: Select all
