Can these be SMOShed?

Code: Select all

x = 32, y = 4, rule = B2in3-jy5e6-ak78/S2i3-nqy4578

Most likely no in that exact rule.
But most likely yes if you want the same ships but in another rule.

What is the stripe-dual of this rule?

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 2, rule = B1e2i3jy4aqtw5a6k/S012eik3r4aqrw:T256,256

According to https://speedydelete.com/duals:

Stripes:
Even: between B4cqw5ak8/S3c4cqwy6ae7c8 and B2ac3jy4acjkqw5aeik6c7e8/S3c4ackqwy5er6aei78

Is there a rule which two spaceships, one orthogonal, one diagonal, both of them having the same speed, can be made into a shuttle where the diagonal SS is reflected by the orthogonal SS and back?

By OP: I already found examples made by kilo park and Ampere.

[B468S02357]

Would anyone be interested in finding me a clue as to obtaining the diagonal ship in repsplosion once and for all?

[LuveelVoom]

Would anyone be interested in finding me a clue as to obtaining the diagonal ship in repsplosion once and for all?

1. What rule is repslosion?
2. What speeds have been searched, and to what distance?

[B468S02357]

Repsplosion is my favorite rule and is B3/S23|B34/S134. There are 3 known speeds (c/2o, c/4o, & c/6o) and i REALLY want a diagonal ship. Only c/4o has been searched so far as to my knowledge except on the catalog.
Edit:
Indeed, could possibly any of you
Help me, in finding a clue
In achieving the ship I know to be true,
With an offset of 1, 1 in this very rule
B3/S23|B34/S134
There is a diagonal ship for sure
We haven't found it yet, I'll need you to find
It, if you don't mind.

[Ninedlingss]

I wonder if there exists those two types of rules:

• A hexagonal mealworm rule

• A mealworm rule that can have speeds beyond c/2(but max cap at c/1)

(Use MAP strings for those 2 because I know regular INT could be impossible)

The Repsplosion diag, if you don't mind.
In prose:
Could y'all all please help me finding a diagship in repsplosion

Where can I find the files used by ror_stdin_test?

What is this from the etsc rule?

x = 12, y = 9, rule = Snakes

When replicator-based macroships are built, what algorithm is used to ensure the replicating units are lined up to produce/consume spaceship streams periodicly? This question could also apply to mealworm spaceships.

Can B345/S345 have any spaceships? A lot of times you get partials like this:

Code: Select all

x = 87, y = 95, rule = B345/S345
