Thanks, your observations are apreceated. However I'm happy with it as is now, it's a nice comprimise. I've uploaded ships_pure and ships_mid to the RTR.

If you wish to create a ships_orig then I'd include that in the entery as well, with the "exceptions" sections of the RT tweaked to better match ...

ok, testing time again

http://with-logic.co.uk/CA/ships.colors - also improved

Good stuff Wojowu. I'll get on it now.

Excelent, ty peeps. If everyone is ok with this verstion I'm going to put it onto the RTR.

bump

phew, right, lets try again, freshly uploaded with corrections.

Iv'e added some exceptions to better moddel the states in the original WWEJ3, apparently It couldn't be that neet. The extra lines Iv'e added to the rule ...

Thanks. I've fixed the link, am most greatfull, can't believe that nobody pointed that out before.

wow, that 10 cell puffer starts off impressively small.

Thanks. So as soon as oscillators, still lives and the various sorts of ships are the only things in existance then you stop counting.

It could be worth trying to make a sort of machine. A binary counter could have a verry long period before ...

Given that.

x = 8, y = 8, rule = B36/S125
5bo$4b3o$6b2o$6bo$5bo2$4bo$3bo!

Shouldn't the bounding box for B36/S125 for valid methuselahs be less that 8*8?

I'm really refering to the longlife like fighting that can be viewed at cirtain speeds, like 8^3.

123458/45678/256, run at 256 steps per frame. 8^3 works well in Golly. Has some unusual properties.

Top input is add bits to memory, middle is remove, lower is toggle, adding bits to the tape where there are already bits has no effect, same with removing bits that dosn't exist.

In the example below:

bit 'A' is added
a few bits 'B' are added
'A' is removed
a 0 a few behind 'A' is removed having ...

I made "ships" as I described, so it breaks most patterns even though the behaviour is almost identical, thease patterns could probbably be reworked. Could we work with this instead for building ships? I will upload to the RTR if it is a success.

Thanks Mark, it's good to see you in this thread as well, people can get feedback from us both now, and I agree with what you say.

Although I think of WWEJ3 as being the best of Wireworld and Codd with elements of Neumann.

I'm working on a rule called ships specifically designed for these ships. I ...

Thanks Awesomeness

Now yours is the smallest and fastest XOR.

x = 48, y = 24, rule = wave

Thanks.

It's rediculously inefficent, but it does work. I give you, XOR.

x = 39, y = 36, rule = wave
$7.J2.2H$10.2H3.J$12.G$2.D4.J8.F$2.E4.J6.2H$14.2H13.J$13.F2.G2$11.J3.

That last ones not an XOR but the OR is great.

How do you delay by an odd value keeping the signals in the same line? None of the below methods work.

x = 20, y = 50, rule = wave

Axaj, you can probbably make that a bit smaller. It's not quite the same but.

x = 36, y = 93, rule = WWEJ3

wow :¬) this is an unintended use for our rule, they look like Generations or Lifelife patterns, tyvm for the interest.

Do I know everyone in this thread who makes circuits btw?

Does anyone have the AND, OR and XOR logic gates? Iv'e only maneged to figure out AND.
