Nice work.
Just a question ... would version not creating speboe be cheaper?
The version with the block is more general (we can destroy it easily), but for example first pattern ... the spiral growth actually had the block already prepared ... similarly I probably would have block ready during ...

There are seeds of destructions there as well, what could complicate the maters.
...
Anyway, probably it would be better to have the destruct trigger glider be a glider returning exactly along the output lane; the added seeds of destruction would cause a single glider to escape down the input ...

I've been exploring ways to use single-channel recipes to accomplish computational tasks. With the oncoming glider gun construction arm, you can create many reactions near the glider lanes, creating, deleting, or reacting with items placed near it. With certain recipes, the entire length of the ...

The fast salvas could be slightly optimized by using glider pairs (The versatile honeyfarm pairs).

I made a script to find one glider seeds for the simkin's glider gun. I found all of the constellations in octo3obj that result in the block + herschel from a b-heptomino, and tested if they work in a simkin gun.

I've been working on the tooling for oncoming glider gun construction, and there are some promising directions for more efficient construction.

This is the standard toolkit that we've been using. Testing on a 503 glider slow salvo recipe, it achieves gliders = 1572, duration = 200259 ...

I realized that Seeds of Destruction makes demonoids have a bigger bb, so I rebuilt it without them.
It is now p136242, pop ~= 9530, bb ~= 17,513 x 17,751
Sooo close to LV size!!


That's a really smart change. The destruction is more expensive -- it has to build a snark, simkin gun, then send a ...

Sure, can you highlight the ...

Hmm, I probably should install uv...
... should I use it through cygwin? Or can I use windows directly?


It should work on windows and without uv, but I'm not really familiar with Python dependency management and uv makes it easy for me.

For finding direct creation recipes, I tend to use a lot ...

Can we use GPU programming to simulate CGoL and other CA? It may be faster than using CPU

I expect tub blinker splitters to be build by a slow salvo and reflectors near the spine by in envelope recipes. But the seed is not finished yet, so don't waste time to work on it yet.

Sending 0 degree gliders through the simkin gun is a problem, we have a blind spot too wide that the recipes are expensive and moreover if we want to create block in speboe position (after simkin destroyal), there is no recipe known to me which does not require gliders in the blind spot region ...
