Goals:
- Find more spaceship speeds
- Find an oblique ship
- Find a stable 90/180 degree reflector for the c/41 diagonal ship (or prove omniperiodicity)
- Find some spaceship eaters
- Find quadratic growth
- create high-period oscillators, potentially using the beehive and other caustic reactions in this rule
- Reduced the 36c/72 ship in size/period
- Prove the rule Turing complete
- Find a gun/guns
To start, a meager collection of known alien oscillators and spaceships which, aside from the c/41d and 4c/16, all currently come from Grounded Life (B35/S23) and/or added B8/S8 transition rulesWhiteHawk wrote: June 28th, 2026, 6:20 pmAttempted to add B4e to have the tub self-destruct, ended up with a messier pufferJasmine wrote: June 28th, 2026, 4:03 pm In B358/S238 there is a natural p48 puffer coded as yl48_1_4_aa2ec6ab225d8ee7edfbfa93607759d8.
