B2-an3an/S0

Post by drc »

This is a rule that explodes, a la DryLIfe. However, I have found it very interesting. It has an even symmetric p4 c/2 (which I will refer to as anchor):

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 2, rule = B2-an3an_S0

And a simillar, glide symmetric p4 c/2 glider (which I will refer to as anskew):

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 3, rule = B2-an3an_S0
bobo$o$4bo!
It even has a similar eating reaction with the anchor, pulling it 3 cells instead of one:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 6, rule = B2-an3an_S0

There are other gliders, too, like this p8 c/2:

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 4, rule = B2-an3an_S0

Using halves of this glider, you can create puffers:

Code: Select all

x = 85, y = 3, rule = B2-an3an_S0

Also, anchor can eat some dots:

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 5, rule = B2-an3an_S0
o5bo3$2bobo$bo3bo!
A p4 oscillator:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 2, rule = B2-an3an_S0
o$2bo!
Now, for a 4-cell gun:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 7, rule = B2-an3an_S0
obo6$obo!
