Spaceships aren't described in this terminology, so strictly speaking it's 8c/76.

Also, questions about patterns in OCA should go here, not this thread.

A more symmetric interpretation of the same rule:

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 48, rule = MAPBJ8g/wSfIP8EnyD/AP8A/w
o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$
o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o$o!

Time symmetry is now much clearer and the subperiods now exist on a line of reflection.

#C [[ AUTOSTART AUTOHIDEGUI GPS 6 ]]
x = 3, y = 7, rule = MAPBJ8g/wSfIP8EnyD/AP8A/w

The pattern has only 1 cell, and the population count is equal to the generation count starting from generation 1.

hotdogPi: This was moved here from the CGOL basic questions thread, as was the next post which was an answer to this question for CGOL rather than OCA.

I've looked through LifeWiki pages, conwaylife.com forum pages, apgsearch documentation, and lifelib documentation without finding anything. (I know that when apgsearching custom rules, the rule's name must start with x.)

2. What programs can I use to search for spaceships and oscillators in INT rules? I know of qfind (only orthogonal spaceships), rlifesrc, and apgsearch.

./recompile.sh --rule <ruletable file name> <other arguments>

For example, say that I want to make a rule with state 0-10, each single cell other than 0 being a photon traveling in a respective direction (1: top-left diagonal, 2: top orthogonal, 3: top-right diagonal, 4: left orthogonal, 5: stationary, 6: right orthogonal, 7: bottom-left diagonal, 8: bottom orthogonal, 9: bottom-right diagonal).
How do I make a rule file with that step-by-step, and is there a way to visualize live what I'm doing?

I don't think there's a script that can do that other than saving the .rule file and running it in Golly each time.
Anyway, here's the rule you requested:
