This is a list of search programs used with cellular automata.
Modern programs
| Name | Author | Rulespace | Can find | Description | Link | Year (creation - last updated) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| apgsearch | Adam P. Goucher | Versatile | Natural/semi-natural objects | Runs random seeds in an infinite universe and censuses the results. Results are uploaded to Catagolue. |
GitLab repo | 2015 - 2024 |
| Barrister | Mitchell Riley | Life only | Catalysed reactions, signal circuitry | An advanced, faster version of Bellman/dr2 using LifeAPI. | GitHub repo | 2022 - 2025 |
| CatForce | Michael Simkin and Mitchell Riley | Life only | Catalysed reactions, oscillators | Searches for catalyses by systematically placing catalysts next to an active region. Allows for transparent catalysts and symmetrical reactions. |
GitHub repo# | 2015 - 2022 |
| ikpx2 | Adam P. Goucher | Versatile | Spaceships | Short for Incremental Knightship Partial eXtender, searches for spaceships using several different algorithms. Its predecessor, ikpx, was used to find Sir Robin. Can automatically submit to Catagolue. | GitLab repo | 2020 - |
Historical programs
The below list contains programs which are old and not in common use due to being outclassed by modern programs.
| Name | Author | Rulespace | Can find | Description | Link | Year (creation - last updated) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CollisionsSearch | Guam | Life only | Catalysed reactions | A Windows-only GUI search program with a similar algorithm to CatForce. Used to discover the semi-Snark along with many new Herschel conduits. |
