trivial as can be

Code: Select all

x = 1 y = 1 rule = B/S
b!

A 'mirrored' triangle:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 5, rule = B2ce3ai5e6n/S1e2ace3-acjk4t
bo$bo3$3o!

something related:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 5, rule = B2ce3ai5e6kn7c8/S1e2ace3-acjk4t
bo$bo3$3o!

This one is also interesing:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 5, rule = B2ce3ai6i/S1e2ace3-acjk4t
bo$bo3$3o!

8 fold:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3ai4cej6ekn7c/S2-a3aeiny4-t5ijkr6-a7c8
bo$obo$bo!

I don't recognize this class

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 4, rule = 23-e4in/3/4
3A$A.A$A.A$.A!

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 4, rule = 23-e4in/3/4
3A$A.A$A.A$.A!

it replicates, every 8 generations, into 3 copies, one forward, 2 sideward. collisions result in mutual destruction.
it seems to be a hybrid between quadruple replicators and sierpinski generators...

Class Q?

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3aein6n8/S2-a3i4in5e
bo$3o$bo!

Class Q?

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3aein6n8/S2-a3i4in5e
bo$3o$bo!

It replicates, but once 4 of them are far enough apart it makes a phase shifted replicator in the middle that eventually destroys a third of the replicators' children. After that, it has 4 replicators on 4 corners of a rhombus, that do in fact behave as class Q, albeit on a slightly larger scale.

Do these two class-U replicators follow an identical replication sequence? I'm finding it difficult to figure out.

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 6, rule = B35a6ae78/S23
2bo$b3o$o3bo$obobo$bobo$2bo!

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 7, rule = B2-ek/S
obo2$obo2$4bobo2$4bobo!

Nope.

[muzik]

We still have this class to name:

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 1, rule = B1c/S04c
o!

[77topaz]

I think that would be another class U. It's clearly fractal-based, as can be seen most clearly at generations 2^n - 1 for integer n, but I don't think that fractal has a name.

[muzik]

5-way:

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 1, rule = MAPPICAAIAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIAAAAgAAAAAgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
o!

A possible new class:

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 1, rule = B13i/S
o!

[77topaz]

Ah, I suppose that five-way replicator sort of counts, though it's not a symmetrical pentagon. That other replicator seems like another class U (it's simulating a sort of a fractal, similar to but different from the Sierpinski carpet).

And that fractal also has an intricate pattern of lines going between the squares.

Interesting, the only debris it leaves behind is a single tub in the middle. Other than that, it's completely clean.

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 11, rule = 23-e4in/3/4

[Rhombic]

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 5, rule = B2ei3/S1e2
3bo$bo3bo2$o5bo$bobobo!

[77topaz]

That's a regular class S.

[Hunting]

I accidentally found this:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = B3-n4a/S1e2-a3ijnr
bo$3o$2b2o$2bo!

The rule is a exploding rule...

[Hunting]

After some random works, I ended up with this Class F(?)

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3-n4a/S1e2-ak3ijnr
3o$obo$3o!

[muzik]

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 6, rule = B2ci3aiy4ew5ce6c7c8/S1e2ce3acein4ceit5e6cei7c8

A mesmerising and beautiful pattern, and I love how it's almost a replicator made of spacefillers. I guess it's more class A than class D, though I find it a bit hard to distinguish those two.

[77topaz]

I suppose a class A stops replicating and turns into another pattern, and a class D continues replicating at its outer edges but leaves behind chaos in its centre, but even the OP doesn't really make this distinction clear - the second posted class D looks like it could be class A. The first example class D suggests it's supposed to be a sort of "class F but messier".

[jimmyChen2013]

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 6, rule = B2ci3aiy4ew5ce6c7c8/S1e2ce3acein4ceit5e6cei7c8
o2$o3$3bobo!

similarly:

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 6, rule = B2ci3aiy4ew5cei6c7c8/S1e2ce3acein4ceit5e6cei7c8
o2$o3$3bobo!

ain't this more of a "explosion" rule than a actual replicator

10min later...
YAY!

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 5, rule = B2ci3aiy4e5ce6c7c8/S1e2ce3acein4ceit5e6cei7c8
o2$o2$3bobo!

That's just a sawtooth. The number of replicator cores does not get larger.
