I found 2 "interesting" glider collisions:

I think this pattern is more accurately put in the "ark" family. Indeed, its unstability comes from the fact it comes from a pair of engines that shoot backward. I don't know what's the consensus, but I don't think it's a true methusaleh a la "Iwona", "Bunnies" or the pentomino.

Probably already known, but... have you noticed how the fireship discriminates blinkers?
x = 15, y = 111, rule = B3/S23

A very simple reactionn for a simple fireship to copperhead:

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 24, rule = B3/S23

Fireship + glider = copperhead + blinker

towerator

It's unfortunately safe to say that all of them are known.

hey guys, i must apologize for my occurs.
picstar is not able to run under b3/s23, it only runs only b3/s23-a4ei6. :cry:

can someone please tell me the difference between b3/s23 and b3/s23-a4ei6
although I am an unfriendly challenger with bad manners?

b3/s23-a4ei6 seems to be the standard ...

towerator

A copperhead can suppress the back sparks of a fireship: x = 12, y = 54, rule = B3/S23

I found an unusual highway in lagton ants: it is oblique rather than diagonal (a 5/3 slope) and it contains 2 ants rather than one. It is also faster than the classical highway (also present in the pattern, for the sake of comparison)
x = 13, y = 10, rule = Langtons-Ant

Here's a way to do it with just a glider that I posted earlier.

x = 15, y = 27, rule = B3/S23

Looks like the copperhead went past the loafer (again...) as the "first semi natural spaceship not being c/2...

Awesome!

So, we have a backrake too? Excellent.

I allowed myself to add a 13th copperhead for single-barrel shooting.

I added some infos on the wiki.
P.S. nice tagalong, this spark may be censored for being "spark porn"

towerator

Hmm...

Induction coil butterfly thingy.

Sadly, it doesn't move. It would be cool if it did though. :(
Remember, novelty won't come from SLs, except if they exhibit a proprety that can be used: (an eater that does X, a catalyst, or even if it is natural).
You can think of them like molecules ...

Well, first thing first, it's not a still life because it evolves.

This ship is so slender, yet slow that the minimal period of a copperhead gun is 148:
x = 1250, y = 31, rule = B3/S23

Yup, one of the funniest things on the stroy is that he may not even have noticed he just excited everyone with an awesome discovery.

Also, here's a small useless reaction: a block eats the ship, but not entirely, leaving 2 blocks, including the carried one. It means a stream of ships "crystallize" very easily.

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 25, rule = B3/S23

I just ran this search in gfind and it refound the ship in a little over an hour. It's really amazing this wasn't found sooner.

The history of GoL will remember that sometimes, discoveries are right around the corner, provided one tries them.

As of the canon, the third looks quite like a snake head or something, so I wouldn't be against a name like so, but the first one can be seen as a man so happy he's slightly crying...

However, if one considers there are too many "animal" ships, how about "carrier"? It seems to pull a block ...

towerator

This is incredible. Things don't work that way! It looks like a fake, but no, it's real, and that's incredible.

Interesting. The Coe ship starts as an otherwise viable LWSS on MWSS, but with 1 cell more, thet doesn't destroy the structure.
Oh, and by the way, congratulations!

... maybe the loafer is next? It has less cells at it's minimal phase, after all...

A miraculous boat restoration AND pi restoration for absolutely no benefit.
This should be THE Rube Goldbergian pattern.
