TauLife (B3-nr/S2-i34-aij)

[BlinkerSpawn]

Vaguely reminiscient of tlife, most notably the presence of a cap oscillator, the ant, and a bun-based oscillator (here p88).
p176 ant gun and stable anteater:

Code: Select all

x = 57, y = 43, rule = B3-nr/S2-i34-aij

have an ortho glider in a similar rule:

Could be cleaned by adjusting the timing of either side glider, at the cost of that barrel.

Should I create a new topic for this rule? It's called PiLife (named after yours, unless pilife already exists)

If you think it's sufficiently engineerable that you can make interesting things with it, quite frankly I believe that puts it ahead of quite a few rule-specific threads out there.

Adding S2i gives a rule that is more active and in which complex objects occur with much greater frequency, but is still not explosive/expansive.
No sign of a natural high-period oscillator, but there is this p16, consisting of four eaters hassling... eachother.
