Glider + Block

Post by Rhombic »

This thread is to list the best glider+block collisions in any rule.

I'll start with one that seems impossible to beat: a 2c/66 spaceship that keeps shoving a glider into a block (it can reach it from infinity)!

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 3, rule = B3-ek4cejqtwy5ekry6ain7c/S02-c3-cqy4qt5aej6en
2o3bo$2ob2o$4b2o!

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 9, rule = B3-ek4cejqwy5kry6an7c/S02-c3-cqy4qt5aj
12bo$10b2o$11b2o5$2o$2o!

This one is even better

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 9, rule = B3-cey5e6c/S2-n3-c4q5ay6a
obo$b2o$bo5$3b2o$3b2o!
16c/148 diagonal (4c/37)
Another ship spawns the glider farther away:

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 8, rule = B3-cek4ez5ej/S2-n3-c4eq6e
2bo$obo$b2o4$11b2o$11b2o!
4c/134 diagonal (2c/67)
Slowest yet:
c/216 diagonal

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 10, rule = B3-ck4ckwy5ai6c78/S2-n3-c4ceqy6en7c
2bo$obo$b2o6$4b2o$4b2o!
Different direction 3c/72

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 8, rule = B3aijnqr4eikqy5ai6i78/S2-n3-c4eq5enr6ek
2o$2o4$b2o$2o$2bo!
A (6,19)c/233 which also has a glider crashing into a blinker and a spark

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 7, rule = B3-cey6kn7c8/S2-n34qt5ny6ain
2o$2o3$bo$2o$obo!
Also, a p54:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 6, rule = B3-ceky4i5i/S234cq5r6an
obo$2o$bo2$b2o$b2o!

(15,3)c/600

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 5, rule = B3-eky4ai5i6k/S2ae3-cei4aijr5i6ei7e
bo$2bo$3o$7b2o$7b2o!
How can I make so many wonderful patterns and rules?
Because I'm interested in them, and willing to devote a lot of time to them.

That is impressive
κ is measurable iff there is a nontrivial elementary embedding j:V→M (M transitive) with critical point κ

7c/82 diagonal

Code: Select all

The block acts as a reflector.

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 7, rule = B4J3-CQKS23

This one is a duplicator.

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 8, rule = B3acijn4j5acy6n/S2-in3aijnr4aw5aiy6c7c8
5b2o$5b2o4$2o$b2o$o!

spaceship in said rule

I'm sorry. You posted in the wrong thread. The rule is named "Glitter".
This thread is for "Glider + Block" collision patterns.

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 8, rule = B3/S23
