I've made a Golly script to generate random 5-Glider 317 collisions for uploading the results to Catagolue, under "5Gcolls_stdin". This is actually my first time submitting soups in a custom stdin to Catagolue outside of ikpx2. I
really hope nothing's super broken. Time to upload some in large amounts and see what happens.
EDIT:
500 soups have been uploaded to the symmetry. It seems like the main problem is that sometimes gliders will end up overlapping each other
Code:
Select all
x = 0, y = 0, rule = B35/S126
19bo$21bo$19bo2bo$22b3o$21bob2o$22bo27$obo$2o30bo2bo$bo31b2o$2bo29b2o4$5bo2bo$6b2o$5b2o!
And end up corrupting some of the census results. Wouldn't be so bad if Catagolue was adding more than one sample soup per object. But guess what? It isn't. And to clarify, I
did do testing of the script and how apgluxe would make sense of the hauls, so I'm pretty sure this is the only actual bug.
I suppose I can rewrite my program to prevent gliders being placed too close to one another.
EDIT 2: Not related to the previous topic, but here's an
almost reflector.
Code:
Select all
x = 26, y = 20, rule = B35/S126

The glider is sucessfully reflected, but there isn't enough time or clearance for it to make it past the second oscillator. This is definitely possible though.
And on the topic of Glider 317 and collisions, here's a collision where one glider destroys the other and safely moves on.
Code:
Select all
x = 12, y = 11, rule = B35/S126
bobo2$4o5$9bobo$9bo$9bobo$9bo!
