Re: A spaceship in Langtons Ant!?

Not completely absolute oscillator, but family of oscillators which has similar properties. Here you can see 7 basic blocks.

x = 26, y = 15, rule = Langtons-Ant
25.H2$21.H2.F2$17.H2.F2$13.H2.F2$9.H2.F2$5.H2.F2$.H2.F2$F!
Each time when we add symmetrically 2n blocks, it always oscillates with p(n ...

Re: A spaceship in Langtons Ant!?

Small and not very interesting addenum.

Oscillators which produce and use still life for their working.

Code: Select all

x = 47, y = 58, rule = Langtons-Ant
B24.B50$B7$46.B!
Specific one (look at it with slow speed).

Code: Select all

x = 28, y = 5, rule = Langtons-Ant
B4$27.B!

Re: A spaceship in Langtons Ant!?

English not my native.

There exist another thread about LA, but I more appreciate this one. I have noticed some (maybe) interesting things, here they are:

1) If we place 2 ants with same direction and coordinats (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on infinite grid (all cells one-colored), so they:

1.1) may meet ...

You are absolutely right, thank you twice! It works only for n>1 (but I don't think that this small detail has some sense).

Re: Thread for basic non-CGOL questions

I don't quite understand, are you looking for something like this pattern due to David Greene?:
First of all, thank you for answer! I also have problems with understanding (exactly how this pattern works). But, yes, it include something like what I am looking for. Let me show:

x = 23, y = 47 ...

Re: Thread for basic non-CGOL questions

Not sure where to put this question. Also english is not my native.

Take any oscillator. Choose any generation (we need at least one). Clone it n times on infinite grid with two conditions: 1) each copy shifted by the same distance from previous (we need at least one way); 2) for any natural n ...
