p11 in a fairly interesting Level 10 rule:

x = 5, y = 18, rule = B2ce3ai4c/S12ae3a
3b2o$3b2o$bo$obo2$obo3$bo$bo3$obo2$obo$bo$3b2o$3b2o!

Easy V to L, but the other way will certainly be harder and probably require ntcatforce+, which I don't have access to at the moment:

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 12, rule = B2ce3ai4c/S12ae3a
5bo$4bobo$4bobo6$9b2o$9b2o$2o$2o!

Edit: Wow! Add B4y and you get this simple reflector:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 10, rule = B2ce3ai4cy/S12ae3a
6bo$6bo$7bo$2o$2o4$3b2o$3b2o!

As well as a simple transformer:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 11, rule = B2ce3ai4cy/S12ae3a
6bo$6bo$7bo$2o$2o5$3b2o$3b2o!

I've been starting a spreadsheet of spaceship speeds and their lowest level. Here are some:

Level 6 seems to be the goldilock zone.

I guess that by "three types" you mean these three with maxpop of 4 (p1, p3, p4):

Code: Select all

x = 22, y = 3, rule = B2ace/S
b2o8b2o7b2o$o2bo6bo$20bo!

However, the rule has many more spaceships (actually, I believe it has infinitely many spaceships), some with far larger periods, although all of them are photons. Here are: one p2, two other p3, two p6, one p8, p12, p18, p24, and a quite insane p48. All of them from apgsearch.

The "even crazier" stuff can start from just 4 cells: that is, this tiny pattern fills all 4 quadrants of plane with asymmetric, but beautiful chaos. Let it evolve for a couple thousand generations and see how many different moving objects appear.

Thanks! Here is the spreadsheet Ive been working on: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
It seems like a lot of speeds from lower rules found naturally are actually better then some in the forum already. It seems like the best strat is to find good low level rules and try to find speeds out of them. Instead of trying to create one with a low cell amount.

Obviously it's quite easy to create a pattern in these low-level rules that explodes into complete chaos, and it's also quite easy to create one that explodes in a symmetrical way. Explosions I find the most interesting are those lying on the boundary: not fully symmetrical, but not chaotic either.

After experimenting with adding a single survival condition to B2ace/S, I present to you this piece of art:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 2, rule = B2ace/S3j
2o$obo!

FIrst quarter of the plane is half of a Sierpinski triangle. Second quarter is filled with the simple p2 oscillators. Third quarter is a space nonfiller. Fourth quarter is split into eights: one eighth is half of a skewed Sierpinski triangle, and the other eighth is again filled with the simple p2 oscillators.

The following also creates an interesting pattern, although more chaotic, containing a multitude of ships, rakes, puffers, oscillators etc.

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B2ace/S3j

For that we would probably have to find an addition that spawns

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 5, rule = B2cek/S1e2ak
3bo$b3o$o2bo$b3o$3bo!

more often but doesn't spawn it way too much. The rules I've checked either have it being the same/rarer to way to common and not allowing for the other cool stuff in the rule. I also just don't care about circuitry for the rule, though I would like to see what it would look like. So I feel like the best compromise to have a a post of all B2cek/S1e2ak related rule. Though I think we would need to find an addition first that makes circuitry more viable while keeping the veiny, yarny look.
