- #C A good motto to live your Life by.
- #C
- #C This can be modified in two ways to give larger
- #C periods as follows:
- #C
- #C Moving the back 12 spaceships backwards by 9 cells and
- #C outwards by 3 cells increases the period by 96.
- #C
- #D Moving the back 6 spaceships forwards by one cell and
- #C outwards by one cell, and moving the next 6 spaceships
- #C forwards by 3 cells and inwards by one cell increases
- #C the period by 8 and leaves one more blinker as output.
- #C (This can only be done when there is sufficient room
- #C along the center line.)
- #C
- #C An interesting linear combination of the two rules
- #C results in the following:
- #C
- #C Moving the back six spaceships backwards by 6 cells
- #C and outwards by 6 cells increases the period by 120
- #C and leaves 3 more blinkers as output.
