New p28 SKOP using the p4 26-cell block sparker:
Code:
Select all
x = 0, y = 0, rule = B3/S23-a5
2b2o6b2o$3bo6bo$2b3o4b3o$bo3bo2bo3bo$obo2bo2bo2bobo$bo3bo2bo3bo$2bo8b
o4$9b6o$6bo10bo$5bobo8bobo$6bo2b2o2b2o2bo$10bo2bo$10bo2bo$9b2o2b2o!
That isn’t SKOP, because the current one listed on the SKOP page is 1 cell smaller (54 vs 53):
Code: Select all
x = 15, y = 17, rule = B3/S23-a5
9b3o$10b2o$7b2obobo$10bo$8bobob2o$9b2o$9b3o2$7bo$2o11b2o$bo11bo$3o3b3o
3b3o$4bobobobo$2b2obobobob2o$bobobobobobobo$2bo3bobo3bo$7bo!
Whoops. I was looking at the stamp collection.
EDIT:
This 16-cell c/2o has eluded a natural occurrence for a very long time...
Code:
Select all
x = 8, y = 7, rule = B3/S23-a5
4o$bob2o$3b2o$2bo2$4b4o$4bobo!
But NOT ANYMORE, as it has appeared in a D4_+2 soup!
Code:
Select all
x = 32, y = 31, rule = B3/S23-a5

Here is the horribly ugly predecessor:
Code:
Select all
x = 9, y = 12, rule = B3/S23-a5
5b2o$6bo$6b2o$5bobo$6b3o$2o2b5o$2obo2bo$2o$o$bo$bo$bobo!
No wonder it took so long to appear...
By the way, I am up to p45 on the pattern collection
EDIT 2: AND, the OTHER small c/2o has ALSO APPEARED:
Code:
Select all
x = 32, y = 32, rule = B3/S23-a5

This actually looks feasible to synthesize:
Code:
Select all
x = 15, y = 15, rule = B3/S23-a5
8bo$7bo3b2o$7bo3b2o$9b3o2bo3$7bo4bo$b2o3bobobobo$o6bo2b2o$3bo$3bo3b2o

EDIT 3: ???????

Select all
x = 32, y = 31, rule = B3/S23-a5
