23-bit still life syntheses

[vilc]

Solved xs23_312ja9jzw1210c96, in 29G.

Sorry to disappoint you, but this still-life was not in the list of unsolved xs23, which is the reference for this project. Catagolue does not contain most syntheses of xs23 that were found before the official beginning of this project. These are stored in mvr's version of Shinjuku, linked in the first post of this thread. Some xs23 that were solved recently may also not show up in Catagolue since the update process is currently broken.

You could have told by yourself that xs23_312ja9jzw1210c96 was solved because you reduced it to a strict xs21 (therefore with a known synthesis) with only one component : automated searches should have solved all these by now.

But keep trying! There must be many xs23 which could be solved with a simple yet undiscovered component. It will require more work but it will be more rewarding. A good way to start finding new components is to modify known ones to obtain a better clearance, in order to apply them to more still-lifes.
Example from the 22-bits still-lifes project, which I found manually :

Code: Select all

x = 58, y = 44, rule = B3/S23

spark-search.py is probably the most useful tool for this.

xs23_c45r88c2egozx23 in 13G (and xs24_025a8ozc48fh8ozx23 in 12G). I doubt this is really unsynthesized given the above catagolue issues and this should be a known component, but it doesn't have a synth listed yet. Found it used in this p58 gun.

Code: Select all

x = 38, y = 116, rule = B3/S23

And yet, today the job queue is now sorted out (https://gitlab.com/hatsya/open-source/c ... 1303677144, viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3061&start=600#p217734), but this one still doesn't have a synth. I've gone and submitted the posted steps this morning.

EDIT by dvgrn: from what I understand, there are going to be a whole lot of xs23s in this no-synth-on-Catagolue category for the moment. The "easy" (read: automatically generated) recipes for these can be found in mvr's fork of shinjuku.

[mvr]

I've updated the list, now that the Shinjuku job is fixed. Down to 222.

I ran another search with intentionally relaxed checks so that broken components got through. Here's a big list of ones that looked to me like they could be fixable, or achievable by producing sparks a different way: Hopefully it's clear what the intended reaction is in each case.

And with that, we're below 200.

The 12th one can be solved with a known component. Is it normal behaviour from your program ?

It's quite possible there's a bug, I'll have to look into it. The component de-duplication is probably too aggressive.

And with that, we're below 200.

207 on my end -- there are 20 xs23 which are now solved according to your list but whose synthesis is not yet on Catagolue.
Edit: 8 of these had easy syntheses and should appear on Catagolue within a few hours. I updated the list accordingly.
