Quasilinear Collisions rule (B2-ak3-jnqr/S15678)

[phdanielli]

This rule houses many collisions and both a diagonal replicator and an orthogonal imperfect replicator-like dirty puffer. I am not at my PC unfortunately due to some problems regarding my travelling (EVA air strike; I'm stuck in Taiwan) so no life viewer stuff to share here yet.

Rule: B2-ak3-jnqr/S15678
P.S. I am so tempted to rename it Pseudo-Highlife but copyrights so no, not gonna risk it.

A small taste of the capabilities of this rule:

Code: Select all

x = 97, y = 56, rule = B2-ak3-jnqr/S15678

Patterns I find to be interesting put together in an interesting way. (speed through ~4-5000 steps later)

Code: Select all

x = 33, y = 3, rule = B2-ak3-jnqr/S15678

Interesting interaction between replicator and puffer:

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 3, rule = B2-ak3-jnqr/S15678
b2o5bo$o6b3o$o6bobo!

Eventually, a west-bound puffer-breeder emerges. (it's garbage collision & glider synthesis based)

Couple of glider collisions that I compiled here into a single pattern file for your convenience.

You know why I was looking for this.

[phdanielli]

That was super clever!

[phdanielli]

So is it possible to use replicator guns (they can collide gliders too) to infinitely hassle a pulsar through a racetrack (maybe even convert it through different stuff like glider and flipper) to make a high period oscillator?

Nope. If you try to implement that idea, you'll probably end up with something that make a line of domino, burn it up with a "pulsar"(That small p3 oscillator appeared in one of my early rule too, I'm calling it the Star), and destroy the pulsar amd restore the domino line. That is not much better than a gun that repeatly makes vanish reactions.

[phdanielli]

Plot Twist: Mske a pulsar reaction that writes GOLLY (galaxy symbol) to screen.

[PkmnQ]

This is probably my starting strategy.

[PkmnQ]

Oh, and by the way, here's how fast converting to squasar and back is:

Nice star-gate effect! So cool~
Also, I will be semi-inactive for a week or so due to travelling reasons. Will return after travels.

There are a lot of reactions like this, but the problem with the "stargate" above is that it's not easily regeneratable.

There is an 8-barreled gun:

Not related to you reaction, but...


Also, 1-barreled version:

Almost true period but the bottommost domino makes it pseudo.
