LakeLife (B3/S235e)

[drc]

B3/S235e.This rule is not explosive.

The reason I'm saying that is because it takes a whole lot of time to run soups. This b-heptomino predecessor is 8548 generations long:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = B3_S235e
2bo$3bo$3bo$4o!

Infact, b-heptomino reproduces after 163 generations, rotated 90 degrees and leaving 7 beehives, 3 gliders, 2 blocks, 1 loaf, and 1 loaf. It eventually collides with itself and honestly I have no idea. It creates two more which crash into more debris, etc. It dies out though.

The namesake comes from the t-tetromino:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3_S235e
3o2$bo!

Honey farm produces an extra tub:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 4, rule = B3_S235e
bo$obo$b2o$bo!

Most oscillators work exactly the same, but methuselahs bizarrely act way differently. For example, the b-heptomino behaves weird, but GGG still works, along with QBS and 2BS:

Code: Select all

x = 36, y = 9, rule = B3_S235e
24bo$22bobo$12b2o6b2o12b2o$11bo3bo4b2o12b2o$2o8bo5bo3b2o$2o8bo3bob2o4b
obo$10bo5bo7bo$11bo3bo$12b2o!

Even SGG works:

Code: Select all

x = 33, y = 21, rule = B3_S235e
2o5b2o$2o5b2o2$4b2o$4b2o5$22b2ob2o$21bo5bo$21bo6bo2b2o$21b3o3bo3b2o$
26bo4$20b2o$20bo$21b3o$23bo!

Still lifes can be made:

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 3, rule = B3_S235e

Most oscillators work exactly the same, but methuselahs bizarrely act way differently.

Such behavior is to be expected, really. For an oscillator to be preserved when transitions change, it's sufficient that the changed transitions not occur during a single cycle. But a methuselah would have to avoid the aforementioned transition throughout its entire lifespan, which exceeds the period of the average oscillator by 2~4 orders of magnitude.

So can that B-heptomino thing be stabilised into a ship?

[BlinkerSpawn]

So can that B-heptomino thing be stabilised into a ship?

There could potentially be a rather small chance of somehow allowing it to travel cleanly... if it flipped while rotating (e.g. Life's switch engine, tdrylife's pond puffer, etc.). It doesn't, however, so the best we can hope for is a high-period rotating oscillator (or an agar).

Still waiting for the p3, pulsar doesn't work in this rule

[drc]

And now we have a figure 8, still no p3:

And a weird reaction:

If the lake is the equivalent of the traffic light here, then 4 large loaves is probably the pulsar.

If the lake is the equivalent of the traffic light here, then 4 large loaves is probably the pulsar.

Yeah, I noticed that while trying to build a pulsar.

[muzik]

I can has rule table? Computer is being used

Also, is there a way to turn the herschel into a ridiculously high-period oscillator/gun? Some attempts at cleanup for a potential p652 oscillator here

I gave this a try, and this partial produces 1 or 2 gliders per cycle, along with 3 gliders worth of debris. The second glider can be produced by deleting the hives with a block, but there is not a lot of space to insert the snarks needed to use it.

Code: Select all

x = 313, y = 313, rule = B3/S235eHistory

This collision can remove the pond and block, while the blinkers can be removed with one glider each.

Edited to highlight the collisions I found which cleaned up most of the debris.

Also, is there a way to turn the herschel into a ridiculously high-period oscillator/gun? Some attempts at cleanup for a potential p652 oscillator here

I gave this a try, and this partial produces 1 or 2 gliders per cycle, along with 3 gliders worth of debris. The second glider can be produced by deleting the hives with a block, but there is not a lot of space to insert the snarks needed to use it.

Code: Select all

Might Snark64 help? It works in this rule too
