"Synthesizing" objects with still lives and oscillators

[hotcrystal0]

This thread is in the same vein as Objects a la carte and Creating things while a simulation is running.
was originally a supplement to cgol rpg. Although it still mainly applies to cgol rpg, it likely has other applications.

This thread is about using collisions between still lives and oscillators to "synthesize" other objects. Common objects are preferred. Objects may be inserted midway, but may not be placed in direct contact with each other (direct contact meaning not being separated by dead cells).

What do you mean by "make objects with purely blocks"?

Looking at the posted examples, neither of the first several is what I would describe as "making objects with purely blocks", because there are also 3-by-2 rectangles (beehive predecessors) and/or other objects that aren't blocks.

[...] The goal is to make objects with purely blocks, and reduce such “syntheses”. You are allowed to insert blocks midway into the evolution. Here are some by wwei:

I realize that the full context might not be obvious in those two cases. Those two examples were the results of "interrupting" this block collision:

Code: Select all

6.2A$3.2A.2A$2A.2A$2A!

EDIT: For the case with the 3x2 rectangles, I was "interrupting" a honey farm made from two blocks.
Edit 2 for more context: The three-block collision used to be a relatively common reaction in the roleplay thread, since it eventually turned into four blocks, which was one more than you put in. The two-block HF was also investigated as a starting point for syntheses, because it was one of the cheapest starting points.
Edit 3:

This thread is mainly a supplement to cgol rpg.

The goal is to make objects with purely blocks, and reduce such “syntheses”. You are allowed to insert blocks midway into the evolution.

There is an extra rule that can occasionally come in useful. For example, the temporary tub in a honey farm is technically a stable object, and RPG rules would allow you to remove it.

I have edited the first post of this thread to be more general as well as clear and concise. Here is the old first post for reference:

This thread is mainly a supplement to cgol rpg.

The goal is to make objects with purely blocks, and reduce such “syntheses”. You are allowed to insert blocks midway into the evolution. Here are some by wwei:
