Inspired by this revisitation of my idea, I wrote a (semi-vibecoded) script to search the catagolue tabulation for periods it could reduce. I then wrote another script to construct each such reduction. After a lot of debugging, and the removal of 52 candidates that failed due to signal collisions, I ended up with the following
Code: Select all

The actual RLE of these guns is too big for a forums post, so I attached as a zip instead. I'm not sure of the best way to upload these to catagolue, and it feels like it might crash it or something. Can someone with more knowledge advise me on this? (The full RLE I attached is 393784 characters long!)
