Photics I (B2ae4c678/S01e4aeqrtw5678)

[muzik]

I believe I have found a rule that supports photons but doesn't have ridiculously common quadratic growths (they do exist).

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 2, rule = B2ae4c678/S01e4aeqrtw5678

The quadratic growth:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 3, rule = B2ae4c678/S01e4aeqrtw5678
2bo2bo$obo2bobo$b2o2b2o!

What other speeds does this support?

[Saka]

Before I go look for more speeds, have a funny common rake

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 3, rule = B2ae4c678/S01e4aeqrtw5678

Hm. While it's definitely more stable than, say, Seeds, this rule is still too explosive to be apgsearchable.

[muzik]

Anyone had any luck looking for slower ships?

It's possible to stabilize the quadratic growth imo something microscopic and linear:

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 2, rule = B2ae4c678/S01e4aeqrtw5678

Found another quadratic growth that is either pretty common or I was really lucky to get after only two random patterns (they were fairly large patterns, but still):

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 7, rule = B2ae4c678/S01e4aeqrtw5678

p5 gun, of the standard variety:

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 4, rule = B2ae4c678/S01e4aeqrtw5678

p4:

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 11, rule = B2ae4c678/S01e4aeqrtw5678

Infuriatingly close calls to a reflector.

[AforAmpere]

Some preliminary searches indicate that if there are ships of other speeds, they are enormous.

Very simple breeder seed:

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 1, rule = B2ae4c678/S01e4aeqrtw5678
