Construction Challenges and Ideas

For discussion of specific patterns or specific families of patterns in Conway's Game of Life, both newly-discovered and well-known.

I think it should be possible to build a new Unit Life Cell without any oscillators or guns.

That is, each Unit Cell is a completely stable object, except for the possible presence of a glider which indicates that its state is currently alive.

That glider is replicated to be sent to the neighboring cells, and one glider is kept circulating within the current cell until needed.

When enough time has passed for all the neighboring gliders to be collected, then the waiting glider reacts with them to calculate the new state.

The p1-megacell is impressive, but it doesn't quite meet the requirement.

I want a Unit Cell which is totally stable. The p16777216 gun in the p1-megacell disqualifies it, even though it is just a small part of the whole object.

I think it should be possible to replace the gun with a 'simple' circuit.

This would just OR together copies of the nine gliders determining its new state to create a single glider traveling in a loop (or a very long
conduit).

When enough time has passed that glider then initiates the state change for the Unit Cell.

An engineered spacefiller that uses universal construction instead of elementary spaceships and wavestrechers. It would expanding a finite stabilization of zebra stripes larger and larger through glider synthesis.

Edit1: more ideas

An infinite hershel hotel:
Maybe it’s possible with c/10 conduits and copperhead guns or rakes.
If that fails we could try universal construction. There are probably more ways to go about creating a device that expands a Hershel track and adds herschels.


Some basic logic gates made of traffic light wires.

I don't think this is possible with the current method of synthing zebra striped.

Yesterday, PK22 found this reaction while looking for ash-clearing xWSS salvos, where a block can eat a LWSS + MWSS:

rabbit took this as a construction challenge, and made it into a p120 oscillator by attaching a LWSS + MWSS gun (the gun part of it is 120×65):

iNoMed took the challenge as well and reduced it to 85×64, by replacing a 3G syntheses for LWSS and MWSS with 2G oscillator-assisted syntheses:

PK22 then made a smaller, gliderless p46 version at 79×63 using the gliderless LWSS and MWSS guns (as well as using twin bees shuttle as a LWSS reflector):

And then, I took the challenge as well, reducing the p120 version to 77×58 (smaller than the p46 one), using a queen bee shuttle pair for the LWSS (which self-filters the p30 gun to p60, plus a blocker to turn it into p120) and a p4 syringe + H-to-MWSS (using a p4 sparker to delete the beehive) for the MWSS:

Inspired by this, I found a few bait constellations which release a glider without damaging the lobster:

The first two bait constellations will require an additional boat OTT to make the glider accessible by stable circuitry.
The RT is 3123. This is very improvable.

A constellation of still life that will reflect a glider and use universal construction to make a copy of the constellation displaced by an adjustable offset somewhere else and destroy the original constellation. So a one time reflector that after reflecting is displaced by a preprogramed in amount.

On the https://conwaylife.com/wiki/High-bandwidth_telegraph High-bandwidth Telegraph page:
There are known ways to build telegraph patterns that improve the transmission rate even further than this, with several possible encoding methods, but no example patterns have been completed to date. The highest-bandwidth options would likely require very large and complex receiver components.
What are these ways? Could it be viable to construct an "ultra-high-bandwidth telegraph"?

I doubt I will participate in this challenge, but I have a question:

Is it important to keep particular reaction/wire described in Telegraph article?
With different (thicker?) wires possibilities are endless.

Also what about just making more of the same wires? It will improve bandwidth for sure, but will it be considered as "cheating"?

What if this, but the lanes of different directions don't overlap

The current smallest metacell (by bounding box) seems to be the p5760 metacell, as far as I can ascertain. How small can a metacell be? How tiny of a box can we fit it in?

It's about 2 parts that construct each other. They will stretch and contrach each other when the other is resting. It was inspired by a macroship in an other rule, but I forgot what it is.
In fact, I started this project a few months ago, but I'm stuck in a place, because my slmake can't make this.It's here.

Code: Select all

x = 156, y = 247, rule = B3/S23

I think we need to make a search algorithm that puts components together, creating special things like reflectors and stuff and join it with apgluxe and add an extension for it to create welds to make it absolutely powerful

There are search programs that can be combined to do this (If I remember correctly; I did not double check):
-Bellman, for finding catalysts.
-Catforce (and more recently, lightcone), for combining catalysts into an object.
-There are a wide variety of programs for welding stuff; LLS or RLS or JLS or WLS or VLS or your hand. (Welding isn't particularly hard in most cases.)

I wouldn't think apgluxe would be related to this.

I mean apgluxe searches for the components for the other thing to piece together

What do you mean by components?
Components as in collisions? If so, there are programs to do that (of which I sadly do not remember the names)
If you mean catalysts, that is again Bellman.

I mean components that are potentially useful that it catalogues then later puts them together also I have to sleep now bye
