Since gemini is adjustable, it might be able to have infinite progression.fluffykitty wrote:Speaking of 2c/5, I think this the first time a length 3 geometric progression of speeds has occurred. (2c/5,c/5,c/10)
Just to be nit-picky, I would consider Corderships engineered, because they consist of multiple switch engines strategically placed to cancel out each other's debris.gameoflifeboy wrote:Another thing: This is the slowest non-engineered spaceship, measured by the distance it travels in any direction in a given time: 1/10 of the orthogonal distance across a cell per generation. (Since the Corderships are diagonal C/12, they travel √2/12 cell-lengths per generation.)

This seems to be a major limiting factor for the program. It needs to be able to allocate 2^(3w+4) bytes. At width w=10 this is more than most operating systems will allow, so it crashes.\FractalFusion wrote: It uses up a lot of memory, especially at higher w.

I think it's because slower spaceship speeds can use stable objects and have them stay for a long time.muzik wrote:Also, this ship pushes beehives. The loafer pushes loaves, and the copperhead pulls a block. I find that sort of interesting.
