I just found a p32 B hassler/shuttle!

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 28, rule = B3/S23

I was experimenting with a B-heptomino and placing random eaters and sparks next to it, and I accidentally found that sparking the B-heptomino with a dot and letting it hit an Eater 5 afterwards turns it back into itself, but rotated, making a p32 shuttle, which I completed using 2 Blockers! I looked at every p32 in LifeWiki and this is actually the 2nd smallest p32!
