Thread For Your Accidental Discoveries

[TheWayOfTheCon]

I am fairly certain that that reaction is known, having witnessed it myself a couple of times before. However, the way you discovered it allows for this useless oscillator partial:

Code: Select all

x = 34, y = 24, rule = B3/S23

o$2o30b2o!

So how do we make it into an oscillator?

I'm not sure we could. The only thing that's missing to make this oscillator work are four dots surrounded by the beehives.

Code: Select all

x = 34, y = 24, rule = LifeHistory

I'm not well versed in Life oscillator construction, but I'm almost certain there isn't a way to create those dots without also disturbing the beehives. Everything's just too close to each other.

Glider synthesis?

This probably exists already but I posted it here

[LuveelVoom]

Glider synthesis?

This might end up being the only viable option. There just might be some sort of glider collision edgy enough to fit those dots in; I have no idea how to find it, though.

EDIT: looking more closely at it, this seems completely impossible. There's only a four-cell wide strip to fit a spark in without interacting with anything; I don't think any sparks are edgy enough to work.

Also, make this into an actual oscillator it'll be cool
Also also, I have an idea called a flexible gun. Flexible guns are guns that launch predecessors that turn into gliders so that gliders don't collide with other guns easily. I think this might be the only option here.

There's already a ton of really good edgeshooting components out there, so there's no need for anything like that (although your description is sort of like an edgeshooter).

I mean like this

Looking at your diagrams, I think your idea of a "flexible" gun is basically what I meant by an edgeshooter. From what I understand, this is sort of what your "flexible" diagram represents:

Whether this is what you meant by flexible or not, it'll have the same effect, so there's no need for any new technology here.

Since the teardrop is destroyed in the process, we would actually call this a one-time turner. Although it technically isn't even that since a boat is left in the ash. If we could get rid of the boat without excess gliders, then that would be something.

[atanisaduts]

also teardrop can be made with two gliders and maybe a boat can be destroyed with one glider but idk so like it's one glider but you need three
ok yeah it's prolly useless
