Glider Gun [Akari RGB]
(Published on 13. October 2023, 14:46 by wisty)
Standard Akari rules apply:
• Place lights in some unshaded cells so that every unshaded cell is illuminated.
• Lights illuminate the cell they’re in as well as all cells seen in a straight line horizontally or vertically up to either the first shaded cell or the edge of the grid.
• Lights may not illuminate each other.
• A number in a shaded cell counts the lights orthogonally adjacent to that cell.
Akari (RGB) rules apply:
• Each light has a color, R, G or B.
• A clue in an unshaded cell gives the color resulting from all lights illuminating that cell.
• M is R+B, C is G+B, and Y is R+G.
• Lights may exist on clued cells.

Thank you everyone who tested this!
Solution code: the colors (R,G,B,C,M,Y) of each illuminated cell in column 10

Thank you for the puzzle. The hardest part was converting the two-letter codes to one-letter codes for the solution :)

Bumped up estimated difficulty. Will try to post a more approachable one soon!

Cool puzzle and ruleset! As an Akari noob this was very hard for me.

google for "minimal glider gun". There is a picture which looks very similar to this puzzle:
oxxxxoxo

so I thought maybe the puzzle could have been an iteration of this layout (without the right and bottom border)

Is this THE minimal glider gun for cellular automata? Which rules? I think it is not Conway's standard new-3 stay 2-3

No, the pattern is not from any cellular automata unfortunately. I couldn't come up with a name for the puzzle so I asked my friends and three of them all told me it looked like a glider gun. So that's the title.
