Turning one of the covers on the p5 sparker into a table allows to pull the semi-snark two cells inwards (58x62).

Made smaller by using a p10 sparker instead of the semi-snark (3240):

In the process, I realized that the p10 sparker has an equal-population form that has a smaller bb:

Code: Select all

x = 48, y = 15, rule = B3/S23

This may reduce several guns, including the one below.

I don't know if that one is as useful since it requires two inputs, implying that there would be two guns or some extra large supports to redirect a second output from a different gun.

Currently working to improve Life's guns and work on updating SKOPs and Isotropic rules most similar to B3/S23 to Life standards. Will get software to begin searches eventually.

(This one only works at even periods. It also includes a small p4 to save it from undeleted blocks.)

While not tiny, it solves the smallest prime*80 gun period that was still based on Herschels, as well as giving a LCM mechanism for sparkers with a period greater than the period of the block factory. (They still can't be coprime - see the p123n gun discussion for why).
Also this one:

I don't know if that one is as useful since it requires two inputs, implying that there would be two guns or some extra large supports to redirect a second output from a different gun.
True, that is why the block one is so useful. However, it is quite small and clean for requiring two H inputs (the others that are perfect all seem bigger).

EDIT 3: Fixed first quote (I had quoted the wrong part of the post).
Engineering macro-spaceships is hard.

By "rectifier" do you mean syringe? Also, up at the top of the pattern, a tub in the semi-Snark has mysteriously gotten replaced by a boat -- a small step in the wrong direction.
The boat was intentional, since basically all guns use the boat form

Currently working to improve Life's guns and work on updating SKOPs and Isotropic rules most similar to B3/S23 to Life standards. Will get software to begin searches eventually.

Technically my list is all unrepresented periods up to 2000, but by similar logic is technically all missing periods up to 10000. I am just breaking it up into manageable sections since there are nearly 7000 missing periods

I have never heard Snark used as a verb before, but here is a reduction using a snark & the new xN block factory multiplier (Should be superior in most 7n multipliers besides 49n for obvious reasons) (guntrue_1183 reduced: 9682 -> 8004)

Currently working to improve Life's guns and work on updating SKOPs and Isotropic rules most similar to B3/S23 to Life standards. Will get software to begin searches eventually.

Currently working to improve Life's guns and work on updating SKOPs and Isotropic rules most similar to B3/S23 to Life standards. Will get software to begin searches eventually.

Re: Execution of Old Guns by Variable-Speed Firing Squad

Post by FlutterWithKSparkler »

With higher repeat time or period of drive gun, there are two other H-to-B conduits that allows for the block factory reaction, namely HL141B (from Lx200) for >= 90 and HRx135B (from HRx93E+EF42B) for >= 124.

Remember there is this row-shaving reduction to guns now, shown with guntrue_1651 (left-hand column):

Currently working to improve Life's guns and work on updating SKOPs and Isotropic rules most similar to B3/S23 to Life standards. Will get software to begin searches eventually.

Is there a better way to compact this p946 glider gun? It would need only 1 column removed to surpass the current guntrue_946

Also, there are probably a lot of guns which can be solved/completed with the devices revealed in the last few days. Can someone check on how many new reduced guns there are to fill in?

It uses an x10 multiplier that I found for a p41 gun, by placing a single block in front of the glider stream.
Currently on another planet.

There are still a couple of periods on the 1120 - 1150 list which are still unsolved like those on my 1150-1200. I technically solved guntrue_1121, but it isn't fully optimized (EDIT: A little better via snark redajustment, still could probably be improved)

I also started filling in missing 94n and 100n periods up to 10000, and completed the set of the latter up to 4000 (the smallest period missing on the former is 94*19, or guntrue_1786).

Also remember to link to the guntrue on Catagolue
Currently working to improve Life's guns and work on updating SKOPs and Isotropic rules most similar to B3/S23 to Life standards. Will get software to begin searches eventually.
