Golden Rules.

I had this idea, that maybe you could have a specific oscillator or ship, hand have a rule based off of it, being created only for that. then I thought, what if it had every type of that oscillator? so, I made a rule based off of the blinker, which failed horribly on the first few tests, might i add, then i got this:

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 5, rule = B3-a4-n5/S02-c34e56-c8
2bo2$5o2b3o2$2bo!

Then, I made one based off of the beacon, which worked MUCH better:

Code: Select all

x = 106, y = 18, rule = B3-i5678/S1234-aq578
97b9o$97b9o$78b8o11b9o$78b8o11b9o$61b7o10b8o11b9o$61b7o10b8o11b9o$46b

after 9, the period is the same, just little ship-like things flow along the edges:

Code: Select all

x = 136, y = 136, rule = B3-i5678/S1234-aq578

I called it Beaconia (for whatever reason) and There are SO many more, like Toadia, Polythlonia, (polythlons are things like the pentadecathlon) Blinkeria, etc.
if you are going to make one, make sure it's got different forms, like polythlonia, it should be able to make polythlons from almost any number line of cells, (such as you can with a ten-cell line with the pentadecathlon) and blinkeria should have oscillators with a single-cell stator in the exact center, and at half the period the whole thing should be turned 90 degrees. Todia is the toads get longer. I hope that some of the others actually are possible.

That is-in my opinion-very interesting
here's octagon 2's:

Code: Select all

x = 80, y = 80, Rules=B3578/S023678
bo2bo9bo3bo$ob2obo7bob3obo$bo2bo9bo3bo$bo2bo9bo3bo$ob2obo8bo3bo$bo2bo8bob3obo$13bbo3bo!

and (possibly) polythenia

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 9, rule = B3/S023
bo2bob2obo2bo2b$b4ob2ob4o10b12o$bo2bob2obo2bo2b!

Edit: I'm definitly doing this wrong
