Miscellaneous Discoveries in Other Cellular Automata

[TheWayOfTheCon]

Looking at Catagolue also reveals versions of this puffer that are just interacting with one another. I don't think any of the currently-searched symmetries would actually allow for a lone puffer to appear.

So while the puffer isn't widely known, it certainly has been found before. This is also a good reminder to keep working on a userspace guide-disclaimer thing that I have planned.

I found this rule, when I was experimenting with Life. It`s has exploding growth in bigger patterns with escaping puffers:


This puffer:

Code: Select all

#CXRLE Pos=-18,-3
x = 19, y = 10, rule = B356/S23
4b3o$3b2obo$3b2o$bo$b2o3bo$o5bo5b3o2b2o$4bobo5bo4b2o$12bob3obo$14bo2bo
$15b2o!

Die in 290 generation:

Code: Select all

#CXRLE Pos=-10,0
x = 7, y = 7, rule = B356/S23
3ob3o$o3bobo$3obobo$3bo$obob3o$obo3bo$3ob3o!

I don't think that it is so weird: it's an 18c/72 glide-symmetric puffer. It was first discovered by Harold McIntosh in March 1994.

Can anyone translate to hex INT notation?
