Nevermind, I got it myself:

x = 9, y = 5, rule = B3-a4-n5/S02-c34e56-c8

man, this is way more fun that I thought it was, and very gratifying when I finished and saw it..

EDIT: Beaconia:

This is what I consider the "big blinker"; twice as big in both directions and twice as slow:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 6, rule = B3/S23-a
6b2o$o5b2o$o5b2o$o5b2o$6b2o$6b2o!

Alternatively, there's this:

Code: Select all

2nd one is the real big blinker, but whatever, I has a new ideer: in Life, is there a way to make a blinker or block (or anything) come out of something? so if it has space in front of it, it will make a blinker there, and if the blinker is destroyed, it is able to make another one in the same spot. idc how big it has to be, as long as it works.

it appears i forgot to mention; if there is already a blinker there, it resets the process, while not destorying the blinker. when the blinker IS destroyed, it makes a new one. idk if it's possible.

Very likely possible, but a lot of bother. Would have to find some kind of glider-producing reaction that's Heisenburp-modified into a plain dying spark by the presence of a blinker. It might be pretty hard if you don't know the phase of the blinker ahead of time, but it could be done with two separate tests 90 degrees from each other.

Anyway, then if a glider comes out of the reaction you use it to trigger a blinker-building circuit -- that part's pretty easy.

Not sure where you would get a Sacred And Must Absolutely Not Be Temporarily Destroyed blinker from, though. For the regular kind of blinker, it's a lot more efficient to use the blinker-keeper reaction to remove it if it's there and then rebuild it. Or if you need to know if it's there or not, just shoot at it with a glider, rebuild the blinker, and then do different things depending on whether the glider made it past the blinker location or not.

Yes. But it would be nice to have a "long time" predecessor. But it counts

There is one in this post about non-totalistic rules, by @dvgrn.

In terms of isotropic rules, it's possible with this idea:

Code: Select all

@RULE C1SHIPS

@TABLE

n_states:3
neighborhood:Moore
symmetries:permute

2,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 8, rule = C1SHIPS

A glider that reaches its maximum population 1 generation before its minimum

Extra point if the population goes up the entire time from min-max. Also please don't make the period lower than 4

is (x/x+1)c(y/3)/y-3 possible? (random numbers but slightly tweaked)

A rule set that allows for arbitrarily high (quadratic in number of states) max population and minimum population 1.
MinMax3 (p3 glider) and MinMax4 (p4 glider) for comparison:

Code: Select all

The changes involved in adding an extra state are very simple and should be easy to see.

On an unrelated note, what I would really like is some wildcard character for rules so I can indicate that a cell can be any state without using variables (and the wildcard character would preferably not be assigned a single value like variables are, so a state-1 cell surrounded by cells of all different states could use "1,*,*,*,*,*,*,*,*,0" whereas "1,a,a,a,a,a,a,a,a,0" wouldn't work)

Find a rule with 5 or more three-cell ships, excluding variants of this. Even one with 5 or more four-cell ships would be great.

How far can you augment the normal puffer 2 with pairs of spaceships to make it as puffy as possible whilst retaining its glide reflectivity?

Here's the farthest I went:

It's possible to use the G-R to make it dirtier as long as it produces backward gliders:

And a forward G-B works, so you can turn gliders into junk as long as gliders escape.
