oscillator request thread

Post by tommyaweosme »

this is like the rule request thread except you request any shape to be turned into an oscillator
for example:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 2, rule = B/S
bo$3o!
i want this to be an oscillator

and the response would be

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 2, rule = B3a/S3ei
bo$3o!
you get the gist

my request is

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B/S
obo$obo$3o!
edit: only square neighborhood moore-contained (this means yes von neumann and yes corners only) two state (lifeviewers built in alternating allowed) rules

There's the boring option I guess.

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B4/S123

@tommyaweosme, this thread was reported with a suggestion that it get moved to the Sandbox. It does seem more like a "game" thread than something we'd want to see outside of the Sandbox.

EDIT: at first I thought that unname4798's post was a candidate period-1 "oscillator" in B/S012345678, but I guess it's a candidate for the next pattern to oscillatize.

It might be a good idea to limit the request to two-state Moore-neighborhood rules, or something like that, to avoid degenerate rules in which, say, there are two ON states and every pattern is a static period-2 oscillator.

done

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3n/S0123-n45678
bo$o$3o!
i also added the rules you suggested but slightly differently to allow more stuff like von neumann and corners only rules

edit: i guess i need to request something now

I think P3 is a good lower limit (the limit of P10 is too high and basically killed this thread)

P3:

I agree with this. It may be too difficult to make p10+ without search programs. At the same time, p2 is too simple and boring.
