現(xiàn)在我給 LifeFind （即前面提到的用來搜索生命游戲中的圖樣的那個 Mathematica 包）加上了搜索 Generations 規(guī)則的功能。于是搜吧，它也能夠搜 Wolfram|Alpha 的那個元胞自動機市俊。

搜索速度很慢，而且只能搜周期很小的圖樣赎败，于是其實沒有太多有意思的發(fā)現(xiàn)秕衙。不過，至少振蕩子不再只有那么幾個了僵刮。

運行以下的 Mathematica 代碼之前先要導(dǎo)入 LifeFind 包（當(dāng)然据忘，導(dǎo)入之前先要安裝）：

<< Life`

搜索結(jié)果是隨機的。輸入下面的代碼來搜索很可能會搜出不同的圖樣搞糕。

畫圖時懶得畫圈圈了勇吊，就照 LifeFind 函數(shù)原本的輸出吧。

靜物

靜物沒什么好說的窍仰。原本就能搜 B357/S3457 規(guī)則的靜物汉规，只是現(xiàn)在可以把這個規(guī)則寫成 3457/357/5 了。

還可以加點別的條件驹吮，搜個胖乎乎圓滾滾的针史，好看。

LifeFind[59, 59, "Rule" -> "3457/357/5", "Symmetry" -> "D8", 
 "KnownCells" -> {DiskMatrix[29] _}]

搜出的結(jié)果：

振蕩子

由于 LifeFind 找不了周期稍大一點的振蕩子碟狞，我其實也沒有多少新的發(fā)現(xiàn)啄枕。

隨便倒一鍋湯，一般都能看到一個周期8的轉(zhuǎn)圈圈族沃。雖然周期有點大频祝，但個頭很小泌参，LifeFind 一搜就出來了：

LifeFind[4, 4, 8, "Rule" -> "3457/357/5", "Changing" -> True]

x = 4, y = 4, rule = 3457/357/5
3.$3A$B2A$.CD!

原本這就是已知的周期最小的振蕩子了。現(xiàn)在有了 LifeFind常空，可以輕松找到周期5的振蕩子（比搜生命游戲里同樣大小的振蕩子快多了沽一，大概因為是 Generations？）：

LifeFind[4, 8, 5, "Rule" -> "3457/357/5", "Changing" -> True]

x = 8, y = 4, rule = 3457/357/5
.D.D.AB$4AC2AC$B2A.B2AD$.CD2.A!

稍大一點的：

LifeFind[4, 8, 5, "Rule" -> "3457/357/5", "Changing" -> True]

x = 7, y = 7, rule = 3457/357/5
4.CB$3.D3A$4.2A$.BADBA$C2AC$D2AB$2.A!

加點對稱性條件漓糙，能搜到更漂亮的：

LifeFind[10, 10, 5, "Rule" -> "3457/357/5", "Changing" -> True, 
 "Symmetry" -> "C4"]

x = 10, y = 10, rule = 3457/357/5
4.D$3.B3A$3.C2AB$.AB.DA.CB$.3A2.D2AD$D2AD2.3A$.BC.AD.BA$3.B2AC$3.3AB$
5.D!

有一個長得和它很像的周期6：

LifeFind[10, 10, 6, "Rule" -> "3457/357/5", "Changing" -> True, 
 "Symmetry" -> "C4"]

x = 10, y = 10, rule = 3457/357/5
4.BA$3.C2A$3.D2A$3.BCDBDC$3AD2.C2AB$B2AC2.D3A$.CDBDCB$4.2AD$4.2AC$4.AB
!

以上這幾個振蕩子好像都是周期8轉(zhuǎn)圈圈的變種铣缠。當(dāng)然也有不是的，比如這個兩個細(xì)胞漸漸消失的振蕩子：

LifeFind[8, 8, 5, "Rule" -> "3457/357/5", "Changing" -> True, 
 "Symmetry" -> "D4X"]

x = 8, y = 8, rule = 3457/357/5
6b2o$2b2o2b2o$bob3o$b2o2bo$2bo2b2o$2b3obo$2o2b2o$2o!

還有很多別的振蕩子兼蜈。但由于最小的周期也有5攘残，搜索較大的振蕩子比較困難。這里就不貼出更多結(jié)果了为狸。

飛船

目前找到的飛船速度還是只有 c/2歼郭。不過飛船特別多，也不難搜辐棒。

懶得畫背景會動的圖了病曾。

以下是幾次輸入

LifeFind[16, 16, 4, 2, 0, "Rule" -> "3457/357/5", "Changing" -> True, 
 "Symmetry" -> "D2|"]

得到的結(jié)果：

也能搜胖乎乎圓滾滾的飛船（不過畢竟是飛船，沒法很圓漾根，像個大蟲子）：
