NotLife (B2-a3/S2ce)

[PkmnQ]

This rule might be interesting.

The only spaceship I’ve found so far is a c/3 diagonal.

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 5, rule = B2-a3/S2ce
2bo$bo$o$2bo$2bo!

And somehow I’ve already found a replicator.

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 5, rule = B2-a3/S2ce
2bo$bo$o3bo2$2bo!

Edit: Renamed to NotLife.

[PkmnQ]

Some probably not useful reactions.

This might be useful, it acts kike a toggleable bit.

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 17, rule = B2-a3/S2ce
9bo2$7bo3bo$8bo$9bo8$b3o$obobo$2ob2o$obobo$b3o!

This is definitely not useful. It makes an infinte stream of oscillators.

Code: Select all

x = 15, y = 15, rule = B2-a3/S2ce

In my opinion, this name seems more appropriate for B2ace/S, a rule with abundant lightspeed objects and relatively tame explosions based mostly on replicators and siderakes.

Consider the two ACE rules mentioned here, the first "B2-a3/S2ce" introduced by @PkmnQ and the second "B2ace/S" introduced by @LaundryPizza03. The first is quite challenging to work with and the second is very easy to work with.

It would be interesting to explore each of them in this thread to compare their capabilities.

For example can a gun be constructed for this ship?

The basic ships are a p4 photon, a p3 photon, and moon. There is also an incredibly common p3 lightspeed replicator.

By colliding two copies of the p3 replicator, it is possible to make a p12 gun for the p4 photon. Guns can be built for the other small photons as well.

As for building a gun for a ship like the one described by nom, I think arbitrary-length wings could be created by disrupting a block, which normally fills space with Star Wars-like chaos, but I'm not sure on the full details yet.
