B0/S3

[Extrementhusiast]

This rule, in my opinion, is quite intriguing. Here is a small pattern collection:

Code: Select all

No spaceships are known, according to Eppstein's webpage.

It has 100 "registers". An MB with 25 registers has a period of approximately 89,000. I wonder if MBs can be emulated with a 1-D cellular automaton? It would have 6 cellstates: beginning, end, "empty", "dot", "L", and "filled".
