Cambrian Life (B3-ckq/S2-i3-q4e)

[The-Patternfinder]

This rule has some interesting behaviors, such as this one:

Code: Select all

 x = 9, y = 8, rule = B3-ckq/S2-i3-q4e
bo$2bo$3o4$6b3o$7bo!

This reaction changes the direction of T-tetronimo by 90° right.

If you're confused the T-tetronimo (or T-pentomino) moves at c/5 orthogonally.

There's that one oscillator that spawns when two beehives meet.

Code: Select all

 x = 8, y = 3, rule = B3-ckq/S2-i3-q4e
b2o2b2o$o2b2o2bo$b2o2b2o!

It's a period-6 where one of its phases are two squiggly lines.

This pattern is a still life

Code: Select all

 x = 5, y = 5, rule = B3-ckq/S2-i3-q4e
b2o$o2bo$bo2bo$2bobo$3bo!

it's a bulky loaf

Also: this cheap gamet has the glider be destroyed and turn the oscillator into chaotic, releasing a glider in the same direction, resulting in the illusion of the glider destroying it

Code: Select all

 x = 11, y = 13, rule = B3-ckq/S2-i3-q4e

I can take some time to do the search for you over the weekend
Do you have a PC/Laptop at all?
Unfortunately, this rules is a stable rule, which means it is harder to engineer patterns. But keep at it!

No, try running it (if you want you can ask some others)

discovered a p16 puffer with speed 10c/16

The 10c/16o puffer is actually 6c/16 (or just 3c/8). Don't worry about it, though.

No, try running it (if you want you can ask some others)

If you don't have a PC, then rlifesrc is a good option for pattern searching. It doesn't submit anything to Catagolue, and its not the fastest, but it is handy in finishing/finding very specific patterns.

Also, I'm doing some small-scale APGsearching for the rule to see what pops up. It would be ideal if the rule had

• High-period or sparky oscillators

• Natural linear growth

• A variety of still lifes/still life components

I'll look at a few symmetries and see what it picks up.

UPDATE:

Searching done!

High-period or sparky oscillators

There were a few high-period oscillators picked up in the search, but they're pretty lame. In C1, there was a p14.

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 10, rule = B3-ckq/S2-i3-q4e
b2o$obo$bo2b2o$4bo2$4bo$3b2o2bo$6bobo$5bo2bo$6b2o!

In D8_1 there was a p11,

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 19, rule = B3-ckq/S2-i3-q4e
7bo3bo$6b2o3b2o$5b2o5b2o$6b2o3b2o$7bo3bo$2bo13bo$b3o11b3o$2ob2o9b2ob2o

3bo!

And an interesting series of period-32 oscillators hassling some kind of reaction. Here's the version where blocks are used as stabilization.

Code: Select all

x = 29, y = 29, rule = B3-ckq/S2-i3-q4e
11b2o3b2o$11b2o3b2o$14bo$13b3o8$2o11b3o11b2o$2o12bo12b2o$3bo7bo2bo2bo

o$11b2o3b2o$11b2o3b2o!

I did not find any sparky oscillators.


Natural linear growth

The search only got one type of linear growth in C1: This loaf puffer.

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 12, rule = B3-ckq/S2-i3-q4e
3bo$2b3o$bo3bo$2o3b2o$bo3bo$2b3o$3bo$bo$obo5b2o$o2bo3bo2bo$b2o4bobo$8b
o!

There are a few variants of it in D8_1.

A variety of still lifes/still life components

There were indeed, a lot of still lifes that had some kind of components, like induction coils.

Miscellaneous

A couple of SMOSes were found in D8_1 and C1.

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 16, rule = B3-ckq/S2-i3-q4e

I can confirm there are no c/3 ships with a 16x16 bounding box.
