Re: Question about one-cell-thick patterns

Thank you both so much for those replies!

Yes, that "2 pure LWSS generators" pattern does indeed answer my question, and those are now two of my favorite Life patterns ever. As for the thread, what a wonderful rabbit hole to fall into!

And that's amazing that any glider-constructable object can be ...

I was experimenting with some one-cell-thick patterns today, and found myself wondering the following:

Help identifying Gosper GG constructor pattern

Hi, I'm writing a rather esoteric Life implementation (I'll share it here someday), and it includes a small library of simple patterns. One of them is a pattern I once found online, in which three gliders collide with two ships to form the innards of a Gosper Glider Gun. I'd like to give credit to ...
