New simpler mechanism. With just one reset it's the new smallest. A second reset makes the period doubler unusable

So...... is the ship called r1x?
@Gustone, what do you want to name this?
Feci quod potui, faciant meliora potentes.

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 3, rule = B34twz/S23

It's unnamed. "r1x" means "one reset". I thought about "rotifer" but that'd be too many new names for variations of one thing and i don't even like rotifers

Also, "@" doesn't do anything here

Is it distinct enough from Stentor to need a renaming anyway?
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.

Of course! Stentor was named for its shape and this doesn't have that shape!

Made the second reset work. -21k cells

Can anyone do a comparison between these spaceships and waterbear(possibly also other maco-spaceships too)?
Definitely not spam
Wondering when the P38 gun will be constructed.
Currently hand-searching spaceships.ÔvÔ

Code: Select all

 x = 4, y = 4, rule = B3aeiq4tz5j6i7e8/S2-ci3-aeky4cei5ain6acin78

Is there a timeline of each spaceship and its minimum population anywhere so I can create the long-awaited wiki articles?
