B3/S234: Antlife
Naming:
Antlife gets its name from it growing with movement on the edges and walls on the inside. Most oscillators in this rule are billiard tables, including Gray Counter and R2D2.
Code: Select all
x = 20, y = 20, rule = B3/S234

Billiard Tables:
There are SO many new and common billiard tables, including small ones like a period-3 3-cell rotor and a period-5 5-cell rotor, that is shaped like the R-Pentomino. I think someone should search for billiard tables there instead. Billiard tables in AntLife are called Larvae by me.

Pupae:
This is the first ever family discovered in AntLife. It can also act as a wick.

-Collection of Pupae:
Here is a collection of Pupae, as well as how they can be created by blinkers:
Code: Select all

Overall, I think this rule will be fun to explore!
Welcome to the forums! We're always happy to have new members of the community.
Unfortunately, this rule is already known (although, as far as I can tell, not named): B3/S234.

Please make sure to review the forum rules, and I would typically recommend browsing lifewiki to start learning terminology, but it seems like you have already done that.

Have fun!

but did i still discover the wick

A natural puffer in Space Invaders:

I wonder if there are even more puffers and rakes…

You meant a p3 T ship.

A 16 cell(2 Angels which are predecessors of the backrake)methuselah of an unknown lifespan(Seems to be explosive.) in a rule I named BackrakeLife:

Can someone corderize these two?

I am developing a 3-state rule where there are 6 signal types that can be split by the same splitter with the same timing, similar in spirit to how multistate circuitry rules with multiple signal types work:

B2cei3acnqy4ijkrtyz5-r6aci/S1c2-cn3-aiqy4eijknqt5a6cik is a derivative of Speciation which has 15 NRSS (c/3d, c/2o, 2c/5o, c/3o, c/4o, 25c/111o, c/5o, 8c/43o, c/6o, 21c/268o, 11c/318o, 18c/657o, 23c/1287o, 15c/1066o, 7c/657o, 35c/3447o), with a 16th speed (7c/657o) which is only in a puffer (though it is probably corderizable):

Most of these are based on a tiny 3-cell 35c/3447o, which I found while looking through the 5s database, so I definitely wasn't the first person to discover it:

But I do believe I've discovered the other patterns.
The c/3d, 4c/8o, and 35c/3447o are the most common ships:

Many of the high period ones are based on the 3 cell ship. The p100 is very common, and the p4 and p9 are common as well, but less so. There are many higher period oscillators that you can find here that I'm feeling too tired to put here. They are all based of of the 3 cell ship.

The rule has some variants, some are explosive/unapgsearchable, some are not.
This rule could be feasable for universal construction.
