That seems like way too much for one achievement! Perhaps just 3 points should be granted for Endemic achievements, if the community decides to implement this.

We've settled on a website, but I don't have any experience of making websites. Would anyone be keen to designing the website?

Anyways, here's a mockup for a user page:

Ideally, we could get support from a moderator... I don't know how plausible that is though. Even if we don't have someone to make the website, we can still make some design decisions like what color theme to go with and what fonts to use. Personally, for a color theme, I vote purple (not deep purple, stuff like lilac and lavender) because it's one of my favorite colors and it lines up with Catagolue's green and LifeWiki's blue.

Also, are we going to sort spaceships by period, displacement, overall speed, rule, discoverer, or a combination of these? I vote we sort them by rule first (where the ship is displayed in all rules it functions in), and within a rule we sort them by overall speed (but not period, so c/2o and 2c/4o are considered the same). Then on the ship's page it can say the unsimplified speed and discoverer.

Mathemagician314 wrote: June 26th, 2024, 7:23 am I would also suggest that the person who submits a ship (if they are the first to discover that ship) are allowed to input a name for that ship, to be used on the website -- making sure that it doesn't share a name with any other known ships and that it doesn't have any profanity (although I would hope that the CA community is better than that). If the discoverer chooses not to submit a name, the apgcode is displayed instead.

hibiscus wrote: June 26th, 2024, 7:42 am If we're going with a Catagolue-style logo, what object are we using? I would probably use something I've discovered, but that seems unfair, so I'm allowing the community to decide.

hibiscus wrote: June 26th, 2024, 7:42 am I'd also say we could also use Pentadecathlon IDs to describe objects - as an example, without any context, xq7_5duogwgoud5z04er9889re4zx1icci1 seems like a c/7o spaceship. Including "42P7H2V0" will tell you that it is a 2c/7o spaceship.

hibiscus wrote: June 27th, 2024, 7:02 am By the way, H. H. P. M. P. Cole, can you send a transparent version of your logo?

Mathemagician314 wrote: June 27th, 2024, 7:18 am @Hibiscus and @H. H. P. M. P. Cole, those both look really good! One question for Hibiscus -- under which tab do you actually find the database of ships? I might be dumb, but maybe we should add a "Rules" page where you find all rules with submitted spaceships, and in those rules you can find the spaceships, like on Catagolue. Also, also like Catagolue, maybe change "Search Programs" to "Software" just so everything's one word? These are just suggestions, no pressure to actually implement them.

H. H. P. M. P. Cole wrote: June 27th, 2024, 7:26 am By the way, if you use this logo, can you please credit me for the logo design?

Drelectron8 wrote: June 27th, 2024, 7:52 am Wait is this photo an actual page or is this just concept art?

Oh, also, I'd suggest putting the credits on a separate page, just a suggestion.

Mathemagician314 wrote: June 27th, 2024, 12:47 pm What should we have under the statistics page? We could do things like "number of speeds discovered to date", "most common speed", etc... I don't think it could be exactly like the Catagolue page but it could be similar.

• Amount of spaceships found overall
• Most common speed (and number of spaceships with said speed)
• Most common speed found today (basically, the speed with the most amount of spaceships found today)
• User with most submissions today
• Average number of speeds, orthogonal, diagonal, and oblique, in all rules
• Longest bounty left unsolved

I've been looking at some of the early posts in this thread and thought: would it be a good idea to branch out to Generations rules?
Here's a variation of the logo for Generations rules (the spaceship is a c/9o in 0134/3/3)

The reason why it's the same width is so that you can change between the normal Project Omniraumschiff logo and the Generations logo without changing the position of the text.

As for Von Neumann rules, I am currently working on that now and will attach as soon as I'm finished.

Make a sortable table of bounties, and to improve on one you must put in the width you searched and the longest partial.
