(Fun writing) Let's prefer <some rule> has just been discovered!

[WhiteHawk]

I’m confused by your terminology. What’s a “spaceship”?
(The correct term is mover, not spaceship.)

OOC: This is fine. I made this mistake earlier too. Just pretend we said Mover instead.

Exploring my B38/S23 rule, I cam across another 4 repeater predecessor

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 9, rule = B38/S23
4bo$4b2o$2bo3bo$3bo$3b2o$4bo4bo$9bo$4bob2o$5bo!

Like 4 repeaters, the Sun is also a lot rarer in B38/S23 than B3/S23 (odd since the Pi becomes a sun in B3/S238 and therefore is more common). However, through some rough searching, I found a small pattern which does make a sun under B38/S23, and then found a good predecessor.

Code: Select all

x = 21, y = 14, rule = B38/S23

EDIT: this Veryclose rule seems interesting, it seems to follow a chessboard-like structure, sadly it grows infinitely.

You may notice little perturbations hat move/shrink in the chessboard, which i call rings.

Code: Select all

While testing an emulation script for rules with B0, I found this mover in a VeryClose rule:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 2, rule = B024/S1V
o$obo!

I haven't released the script yet. Does the RLE system works for B0?
The mover is common, but I haven't found anything else yet.

I haven't released the script yet. Does the RLE system works for B0? It's common, but I haven't found anything else yet.

OOC: I think we need to explain what makes B0 so challenging first, as well as explain what black-white reversal is and self-complementary rules do.

[b-engine]

Although there's another easier way, this is the method my script used to simulate B0 rules.

It simulates B0 normally, but B0 causes the entire infinite grid to turn on.
To avoid crashing 86 centuries old toasters, a cell with all of its neighbors with same state aren't simulated, instead marked as "background". Any background neighbors are treated as same state of the central cell.
Due to B0 causing the entire grid to flash without S8, I call all rules with B0 and no S8 as "flashing rules".
-
I'll release the B0 script soon.

EDIT: finally a stable snail in the rule with the aggressive halfcar-like thing that actually was just a product of the car- perhaps this rule should be called reckless life - and it produces a bread and 4 repeaters.

I'll release the B0 script soon.

Here's the script:
B0Viewer.html 19.21MB (download)
Sadly it doesn't support GUI. I've made a command interface.
I'm working on the script to utilize another way to simulate B0.

Anyways,

I've found a rule B01356/S012345, what should we call it?
Line extender:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 4, rule = B01356/S012345
obo$obo$3o$3o!

Smallest repeater:

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 1, rule = B01356/S012345
2o!

I've made a random pattern, then kaboom:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = B01356/S012345
2obo$ob2o2$bobo!

I haven't found a mover yet, but I think it's possible; extenders are very common, and there're some "corruptions" (parasites) that "eat" the lines.

Excellent!

Here is a new snail in Reckless Life which may be more manageable to finally create an oblique mover - it now spits out two squares instead of 2 ants

I built a search program for these rules, which i call SpeedSearch. [it is actually just rlifesrc], I used it to check this rule i found, which makes loads of squares with repeaters between. I can this rule Square-Everywhere.
The first things i saw were this p7 repeater, and its variant, which i call cross.
