I did not realize you had a UA-cam channel, just found it by seeing your post about this on the discord. This channel is so cool, and the history lesson about glider guns was really cool
Ah, that would’ve been good to talk about in the video. Sadly not - the B-heptomino + glider reaction has a repeat time of 15 generations (i.e., repetitions of it can’t be placed any closer than that together), so no period 14 gun via this reaction is possible.
A pseudo p16 LWSS gun is already known (e.g., conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3552&start=550#p166013 ). As for true period-16 or even pseudo period-15 (or pseudo period-14, for that matter) my guess is almost certainly completely useless -- could be a week from now or 10 years from now. Progress like this seems extraordinarily unpredictable to me.

Excited to see more videos like these from the studio. Great content, and looking forward to seeing more!
Ha, good to see you Vinnie :)
Thank You !
So how much hope is there of using this method to find a p14 gun?

P1GG may or may not also find 14…
in case you don’t know, I’m hotcrystal0 on the forums
When do you think a p15 or p16 _LWSS_ gun will be discovered?

@@NathanielMath Just two days ago, I found the first true-period 47 glider gun!
I love it how people take a concept like this so seriously in depth LOL 😀
If someone is here, they likely know what gliders and glider guns are...........
Not if the video just pops up in UA-cam recommendations for no particular reason.
@@BisqwitNot the target audience is it.
I would be hopeful that videos like these can be approachable to a more general audience, and get people into the community
