Re: Make a Spaceship With an Adjustable Slope

Post by jmnh »

Congratulations — an omniship that for every slope (p, q) “almost” reaches the maximum speed.
This raises a question for me (is this thread the right place for it? I’m not sure...):
For which slopes (p,q) are there one or more ships that reach exactly the maximum speed? I only know of 3 examples:
(1,0) xWSS
(1,1) glider
(2,1) “Sir Robin”
Are there any other?

That's all right now, though a technically better example for (1,0) is 64P2H1V0
Currently working to improve Life's guns and work on updating SKOPs and Isotropic rules most similar to B3/S23 to Life standards. Will get software to begin searches eventually.
