- #C From: phoenix@machnix.mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de (Hartmut Holzwart)
- #C Subject: n-squared stretcher done
- #C
- #C Hello, finally a success!
- #C The delay was a result of a number of failures in
- #C searching connections of known c/2 ships to different combinations of L-shapes.
- #C Nothing worked except the one shown below. So one has to change the thing to
- #C get just this combination at the meeting point of the two branches. The key
- #C was noting that one can attach different phases of L's to each
- #C other to get any slope of the front between 3/4 and 1!
- #C In this way one can change the meeting point back and forth as needed.
- #C Using this method one can use any phase of the glide symmetric base ship used
- #C on the two sides and still get similar results.
- #C Nevertheless, this must be one of the fastest growing patterns in life.
- #C -----
- #C n-squared stretcher by Hartmut Holzwart completed on September 2nd 1993
- #C after an idea proposed by Alan Hensel
- #C This uses a glidesymmetric ship found earlier with an adapted tag
- #C and a fairly standard c/2 ship with a special tag
- #C
- #C I hope, you can run it on a really big board, looks fine. Again thanks for the
- #C idea, Alan.
- #C Since I wrote the above, I found another slightly longer tag that can
- #C be used and omits the middle part that complicated Alan's original
- #C idea.
