Hi! New user here =)

This rule doesn't expand, and stabilizes quickly. However, by drawing a 2 dot wide line and adding something to it, a pattern appears.

You can see some examples here:

Code: Select all

x = 313, y = 69, rule = B4/S3456

Those lines can turn left or right, but the resulting "garbage" from the pattern may (and usually will) vary.

Oscillators of period 6 and 9 appear naturally. I've also managed to create oscillators of period 2 and 3:

A while ago I found a variation of this rule (B456/S3456) which has similar oscillators to this rule. Some of them may even work in both rules.

Code: Select all

x = 137, y = 93, rule = 3456/456

I'm trying to understand how the "line travellers" work. I came across some interesting ones:

This one creates a line traveler with a symmetric garbage pattern, then sends more line travellers that destroy the garbage pattern from the first ones.

Code: Select all

x = 18, y = 140, rule = B4/S3456
