spaceship THATS ALSO A BINARY COUNTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Code:
Select all
x = 92, y = 12, rule = 02i3i/2aen3iy4ct/3
2$85.BA$77.AB3.B2.2A$.BA2.BA2.BA2.BA2.BA2.BA2.BA2.BA2.BA2.BA2.BA2.BA6.
BA2.BA6.BA2.BA6.2A2.2B2.2A$.BA2.BA2.BA2.BA2.BA2.BA2.BA2.BA2.BA2.BA2.B
A2.BA6.BA2.BA6.BA2.BA6.2A2.2B2.2A$77.AB3.B2.2A$85.BA!
[...]

what the heck is this?
Code:
Select all
x = 2, y = 10, rule = 02i3i/2aen3iy4ct/3
BA$BA$BA$BA$BA$BA$BA$BA$BA$BA!
For the first pattern, it is destined to be an infinite growth, at about generation 2^21. Still big.
You can make it a sawtooth to get this:
Code:
Select all
x = 6, y = 6, rule = 02i3i/2aen3iy4ct/3
4.BA$A3.2A$4.2A$4.2A$A3.2A$4.BA!
The pattern's population is never odd, due to its symmetry. And yes, it is a tetrational sawtooth. (Are there even pentational sawtooths, or higher?)
In the second pattern, after running it for 7.5 million generations (in
golly), it just looks like a big plus. The vertical line has puffers, and an oblique line of spaceships that has slope ≈25.
Well, my signature is officially cool.
