abomination (B2ce3aeikq4aeikw5c/S1367)

[SquishyBoi]

shortly after creating a topic for a rule i discovered recently, cereal (B2ai/S03), which you can check out here - viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4663, i also stumbled into this interesting (and quite frankly questionable) chaotic/explosive rule, B2ce3aeikq4aeikw5c/S1367. again, i would've posted this in the unrecognised ca thread, but that thing's an incomprehensible pile of posts, and why not make it's own topic?

i lazily named this rule "abomination", because of the fact that the most common diagonal spaceship in the rule is very similar to the glider in CGoL, except I thought it would be considered an abomination compared to the glider (this pseudo-glider will be shown later).

still lifes

here are three common still lifes, including the block and clock.

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 4, rule = B2ce3aeikq4aeikw5c/S1367

--------------------------------------------------

oscillators

extremely common oscillators; the oscillators are p2, p4, p2, p2 and p12 respectively.

Code: Select all

x = 24, y = 4, rule = B2ce3aeikq4aeikw5c/S1367

bla bla blah random oscillators nobody cares about


-------------------------------------------------

spaceships

here's the aforementioned c/4 diagonal "pseudoglider"

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 2, rule = B2ce3aeikq4aeikw5c/S1367
o2b$obo!
#C [[ THUMBNAIL ]]

the c/10 orthogonal "r-pentominoafer" (bad loafer pun intended)

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 3, rule = B2ce3aeikq4aeikw5c/S1367
ob$2o$2o!
#C [[ THUMBNAIL ]]

and the c/12 diagonal "trilobite"

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = B2ce3aeikq4aeikw5c/S1367

an interesting reaction and a pseudo glider gun

the tub is... um... interesting.

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B2ce3aeikq4aeikw5c/S1367
bob$obo$bob!
#C [[ THUMBNAIL ]]

but it's reaction can be used to make a very simple pseudoglider gun

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 5, rule = B2ce3aeikq4aeikw5c_S1367

priorities

- discover more impressive spaceships
- perhaps some of sort of puffer or rake?
- p3/p5/etc. oscillator?
- take a nap

I'm not sure what to call this:

[SquishyBoi]

note: this post is boring and mostly focuses on oscillators (the stuff that nobody cares about)

pointing out this obvious p2 oscillator

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 7, rule = B2ce3aeikq4aeikw5c/S1367
2bo$2bo2$bobo$bobo2$2o!

finally found some p3 oscillators

Code: Select all

a second, less obvious p4 oscillator

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = B2ce3aeikq4aeikw5c/S1367
o2bo$b3o$b2o$2b2o!

another, less obvious p6 oscillator

Code: Select all

p8 oscillator

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 5, rule = B2ce3aeikq4aeikw5c/S1367
o2bo$o2bo2$o2bo$o2bo!

ship-tie-ship is a p16 oscillator

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 4, rule = B2ce3aeikq4aeikw5c/S1367
2obo$2o$2b2o$ob2o!

p22 oscillator

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 5, rule =  B2ce3aeikq4aeikw5c/S1367
5bo$bobobo$o2bobo$bobobo$5bo!

surprisingly small p132 oscillator and probably the most interesting one

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 10, rule = B2ce3aeikq4aeikw5c/S1367
13bo$13bo$9bo5bo$9b2o3bo$b2o7bobo$4o$2o$2bo$b2o$bobo!

so far, there's p2, p3, p4, p6, p8, p12, p16, p22, p26 and p132 oscillators.

also:

I'm not sure what to call this:

Code: Select all

x = 33, y = 7, rule = B2ce3aeikq4aeikw5c/S1367
o31bo$o31bo$bo29bo2$bo29bo$o31bo$o31bo!

technically some sort of breeder, maybe?

I wouldn't say that; its population grows at a rate of O(sqrt(n)) rather than O(n^2)

I'd call it a sqrtgrow.
