2 | #D Line Puffer of width 33 |
||
3 | #D |
||
4 | #D The width is defined by the length of the first free-standing line |
||
5 | #D in the puffer's plume. The formula for this is 12n+1-s, where n is |
||
6 | #D the number of middle segments, and s is the number of cells covered |
||
7 | #D by the little 3-cell, 5-unit puff-suppressors on the upper edge of |
||
8 | #D this otherwise symmetrical pattern. |
||
9 | #D |
||
10 | #D Here, n=4, and s=6+5+5. The Y-shaped puff-suppressors can have 5, |
||
11 | #D 6, or 7 units of spacing on between them, or between one of them and |
||
12 | #D the end. You only need 2 or 3 such suppressors to produce any |
||
13 | #D puffer width. |
||
14 | #D |
||
15 | #D Notice that placing random debris behind the puffer sometimes |
||
16 | #D affects the plume permanently - even turning it asymmetrical if the |
||
17 | #D debris was asymmetrical. It also affects the period of the puffer, |
||
18 | #D that is, the number of generations it takes to repeat. By |
||
19 | #D increasing the width, the period can be made to rise exponentially, |
||
20 | #D surpassing 10^6 at a width of only about 70. But the most amazing |
||
21 | #D thing is that it has a half-life on the order of 10^8 generations. |
