Possibly useful?

And you did this all by hand? Manipulating still lifes? In LV? Wow...

Two very closely related rules:

Rule 1 has 5 high period oscillators. It also supports the glider and the B4w 2c/7d.
x = 90, y = 12, rule = B3-e4e5y7e/S234cjnw6i7e8

How does this Euclidean CA appear to generate hyperbolic rivers?

If you go to about T=2000 or 3000, the rivers between checkerboard parities will look like hyperbolic ...

We're in explosive territory now. Too bad we can't just remove B4a...

See, you can do this in pass the rule... ...now if someone here decided to add B1c...

Painfully close to a shuttle. While I'm not confident on still lifes, there are tons of p2 (and maybe p4) oscillators that can be found on Catagolue, and hopefully one of them can hopefully catalyze the reaction and not destroy anything else.

Maybe I could use LLS to find a solution, or at ...

Here is a variant with a common spaceship:

Higher-clearance and smaller version of the worm eater:

I ran a quick drift scan on this rule, but absolutely NOTHING interesting came out to my surprise; the auto-scanner functionality is extremely bad at the moment, though. I'll try and improve it tonight along with procrastinating more on fixing "my" other scripts...

It doesn't look like Katrina mentioned the search program she used.


On the discord she posted a drift infile when I asked how she found the turner so I assume she used drift

Unrelated: drift currently has an "autoscanner" mode that tests a bunch of different basic infiles to try and find ...

Now 3!

Awesome! How was it implemented?

Yeah, probably the best idea. I turned on saving this time so we won't have another Incident.

Oh dear... I happened to start it last night and have now left the house this morning. Oops.
