"Solid" LTL Ships

[muzik]

Solid ships probably exist in hexagonal rules as well, but scaling the original SlowShip rule to fit a hexagonal neighbourhood doesn't seem to have done anything helpful:

Code: Select all

x = 26, y = 26, rule = R10,C0,M1,S115..196,B100..198,NH

rle

Putting the RLE directly into a hexagonal neighborhood won't work, since hexagonal RLEs are skewed compared to normal ones. Here's an example pattern that lasts longer and more usefully so, although it's not a ship itself:

Code: Select all

x = 20, y = 20, rule = R10,C2,M1,S115..196,B100..198,NH

Obviously it won't, I'd already random filled it and that wasn't showing anything either.

Here's a rule in the range-5 L² neighborhood with a glide symmetric 3c/124 diagonal and a c/65 diagonal

Code: Select all

x = 29, y = 29, rule = R5,C2,S22-40,B21,30-33,35-39,45,N2

EDIT:

Another rule in the range-5 L² neighborhood with a glide symmetric c/283 diagonal, an asymmetric c/26, and a c/9. All of which occur naturally and fit the category of solid ships

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 47, rule = R5,C2,S22-40,50,B21,30-33,35-40,45,N2
