It's also a (failed) replicator. If you look closely you can see the puffer being generated again, and even again before crashing into the oscillators.

It's class F. I've edited the OP.

Possibly a class u:

It's an XOR but with diamonds, if that makes any sense.
Not sure if that's a class; I haven't studied the OP in forever.

It seems to follow OEIS A189007 (1, 4, 8, 16, 16, 32, 32, 64, 32, ...), so it does not appear to be in any existing class.

And another (technically this is von Neumann Fredkin)

Code: Select all

Do these count as replicators, or spacefillers?

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 1, rule = B12cn4c/S0
o!

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 1, rule = B1c2c4c/S

Spacefillers.

New class?

Code: Select all

o!
More interesting example

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 1, rule = B1e2e/S2c3i4w5y
o!
It's interesting, it replicates at 1,4,8,12,20,20,36,36,68,36,68,68,132,68,132,132,260,68...

These also don't have the "dying edge replicators" muzik talked about

Class Q?

Aha! Another oblique!

2bo$b3o$2obo3$3bob2o$3b3o$4bo!
If the B's are separated, they will turn into 10c/208o ships
That rule has a second replicator!

(7,4) oblique 2D replicator, class S, I think

So it appears that 2D class S replicators can fill out areas that are either square, rectangular or rhombic.

Are there any other polygons it can trace out? I doubt so, but if so, those with 4n sides seem to be most likely.

Okay, I found 3 of these back in November:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B34j5k6en/S235e6c
2o$b2o$2bo!

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 3, rule = B3-q4z5y/S234k5j
2b2o$b2o$2o!

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 2, rule = B2n3aijnr4jrz5r6-e/S2-in3knr4aeijknq5-r8
b2o$4o!
The second one can be hassled by blocks:

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 19, rule = B3-q4z5y/S234k5j
12b2o$12b2o3$b5o$o3bo3b2o$o$bobo4$9b2o$3b2o3b2o7b2o$7b2o8b2o4$5b2o$5b
2o!
The rule doesn't have the glider or the XWSS's, but does support the hat ship.

Could Class S replicator hasslers be used for signal circuitry?

Purely by accident

3o$3o$obo!

3-way:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 2, rule = B2a3ir5aik7e/S2k4z
obo$3o!
Closely related to the third, a potentially new family:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 2, rule = B2a3ir4i5aik7e/S2k3y4z
obo$3o!

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 2, rule = B2a3ir4ik5aik7e/S2k3y4z
obo$3o!
EDIT: Bingo! Another new family!

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 2, rule = B1e2i3a4i5eiq6i/S2a3eiq4inr
bo$3o!

Haha that 3-way one is awesome.

Technically it would be a 1.5849D replicator though?

The 3-way one's trail looks like two Sierpinski Triangles with tilted triangles, if that makes any sense.

That's interesting — it's a replicator with infinite growth and finite copies.
