I was reading Stephen Hawkings' new book "The Grand Design"
In the last chapter he talked about The Game of Life and my interest grew from there.

Hello Everyone!
I have come up with a new computation rule based on the behavior of liquid in pipes. Hence the name "Liquid".
Here, I have given you the table, the colours file and a demonstraion of the uses of state cells. Enjoy!

You may note 90° reflectors used for adding edge gliders, glider + LWSS reactions for adding front gliders, and even an LWSS 90° reflection.
Most of the currect reflectors work on a direct path so would be useless to a gun.
