B2/S0/C4 (another multiple-state rule)

This is the thread for this particular rule. It initially appears Brain-like (with four colors), but then settles down. A simple breeder:

Code: Select all

11.
..1
I had to do visuals because it was so small.

I've done a good bit of research in this rule.

Here are the c/2 spaceships so far:

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 3, rule = 0/2/4
.B6.B.AC$B.B5.ABCA$ABA7.A!
Here are the oscillators so far:

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 4, rule = 0/2/4
2.A6.A$.A6.A$A6.A$10.A!
That breeder you posted is a pattern which I have been trying to stabilize into a c/12 diagonal spaceship for quite some time. Hmm, what other object with infinite growth that moves at c/12 diagonal has become a spaceship? Anyways, this is the farthest I've gotten:

Code: Select all

x = 13, y = 15, rule = 0/2/4
3.2A$3.2BA$2.A2CBA$2.A2.CBA4.A$.ACA2.CBA$2.B2CBA.CBA$2.A2BA3.CBA$3.2A
4.CBA7$A!

The infinite growth thing that you were talking about is probably a switch engine. Here is a breeder:

You need to enter the x, y and rule name, like this:

Code: Select all

x=7, y=7, rule=0/2/4
A$.A$2.AC$2.C.C$3.CA$5.A$6.A!
EDIT:
The tagalong:

Code: Select all

x = 81, y = 76, rule = 0/2/4
$64.AB$64.B.B$64.AB.AC$68.AC!

In fact I'd investigated the rule before the topic was created; I'd been trying to corderize the slow moving spiral growth:

Code: Select all

x = 85, y = 86, rule = 0/2/4
.A83$A.A$.BA$.A82.A!
EDIT:
Better:

Code: Select all

x = 112, y = 117, rule = 0/2/4
28.A81$A110.A2$27.A.A$28.BA$28.A31$25.A!

6$9.AB$9.ABC.A$11.A2BA$13.B$13.AC$14.BC$14.2A!
Edit: closest i've been to stabilization of the breeder

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 10, rule = 0/2/4

I don't think so. This rule do not have enough notability to justify wiki page.

Make yourself a user page (User:WRAPboi). Then, make a page under User:WRAPboi/PlusTwo or User:WRAPboi/Think free or die. Then, it doesn't really need to be notable, because the page will be hidden under normal searches (when doing a search, click the 'everything' button, and then it will come up). But, do not take this as a reason to make a bunch of random pages under your user.
Also, 4 more c/2 tagalongs:

Code: Select all

x = 24, y = 9, rule = 0/2/4
.A5.A5.A7.A$ACA3.ACA3.ACA5.ACA$CAC3.CAC3.CAC5.CAC$.C5.C5.C7.C$2.2A4.2A
4.2A6.2A$AB2C3.A2C3.A2C5.A2C$B6.C5.CA6.CA$14.CBA5.CA$16.B6.C!
Very easy to find with rlifesrc.
There don't appear to be any more though...
