Diamoeba is a Life-like cellular automaton where cells are born if they have 3, 5, 6, 7, or 8 neighbors, and survive if they have 5-8 neighbors.
Diamoeba is known for its dynamics. Small random soups often dissolve into vacuum or small oscillators while larger soups often generate large oscillating diamonds.

Known Objects
Oscillators
There are many oscillators in Diamoeba, although all of the currently known ones are of even period. Below is a collection of the smallest known oscillators (by cell count) from periods 2 until 14.

Spaceships
All known spaceships are orthogonal and no spaceship faster than c/7 orthogonal is currently known. Below is a display of the smallest known spaceships (by cell count) of each known speed.
From left to right: c/7o (David Eppstein)[1], c/9o ("djgjs")[2], c/16o (Dongook Lee)[3] (click above to open LifeViewer) |
Infinite Growth
There are four known infinite growth patterns so far, a c/7 orthogonal wickstretcher found by David Bell[4], a quarter-spacefiller also found by David Bell[5] of the same speed, a spacefiller yet again by David Bell[6] based on a spaceship, and a c/7 orthogonal wickstretcher found by Arie Paap[7].
