Yeah, it's huge. Anyway, it's all made by me. I want to kind of explain everything I invented, so here. The period 120 gun out of three glider guns I made was discovered on accident when I was looking at how the "fuzz" that Gosper Glider Guns create (that turns into a glider gun in a few generations) when the two shuttles collide reacted to external gliders. The smallest period 120 I know of other than this is one using 4 guns and the two-glider block spawning reaction. I made the rake construction myself, and I put LWSS-glider collision that produced a B-Heptimino I found to use to make the puffer part. You'll notice how I used different methods of creating blocks for the LWSSes, because I found eventually that certain methods didn't fit in certain construction areas. I built it in the wrong order! That's why the last LWSS took the longest time to figure out a way to construct. I should have decreased the period though. It would be harder to fit the construction, but at least it would grow faster than the original breeder... Oh well. I'm still very happy.

PS: It would be cool if the webmaster could make an RLE tag so that small patterns could be run in JavaScript. For example, if my pattern was smaller, you could replace

Code: Select all

 with [rle].

Hrm... I'll add that to the to-do list because it'd be pretty cool, but I imagine that if it happens it'll be a while off (since I know nothing of customizing phpBB). If you don't require the RLE actually evolve, but rather just want to create an on-the-fly image of it, I made a script for that. Here's an example:

You type:

Code: Select all

You get:


Edit: There are a bunch of options that you can set in the script for customizing output as well (such as cell size, colour, and so on). For examples and documentation, see this page. Toad example:

Wow, I never knew that.

[calcyman]

That's quite an interesting pattern; it constructs the rakes bit-by-bit like a production line. It's admittedly not as compact as the other rake gun, but that's probably because you just wanted to make a functioning breeder rather than trying to break any space records.

The smallest period 120 I know of other than this is one using 4 guns and the two-glider block spawning reaction.

The smallest one currently known uses only two guns and a p8 filter:

Code: Select all

x = 39, y = 29, rule = B3/S23

Or trying the new image facility:

That's rather neat, Awesomeness. I like your "assembly line" approach. It may not be so compact, but it makes it very easy to understand what's going on. Well done.

There's a fairly small reflector that converts gliders to LWSSs, which you may find useful. See my Fibonacci calculator for an example. I "borrowed" it from one of the Metamorphosis patterns.

I agree.

And in the "new objects" category, a new still life! (not sure if this is new, found it by accident while playing with a different rule)

For RLE:

Code: Select all

x=11,y=11,rule=B3/S23

Why isn't it working?

[Awesomeness]

By the way, Just saying, this whole thing was a learning experience. The stuff closer to the top is obviously different from the bottom. I created new methods when my old ones ceased to work. I'm sure some of the last methods could be used to do the whole thing.
