<p>Badmonkey717: Argh!</p> <hr /> <div>I am Badmonkey717. I am interested in cellular automata, but I generally like to engineer my own rules for certain purposes.<br /> <br /> I am also interested in trying to make the analog of glider syntheses for ither non B3/S23 rulesets, such as &quot;lunar syntheses&quot; for B2 or related patterns (using moons,) and &quot;spinning hat syntheses&quot; for B34/S34 (all of which seem to be doomed efforts and none of which have yielded anything monumental)</div>

<p>Badmonkey717: The boat can also do that, but it&#039;s not a constellation, now is it?</p> <hr /> <div>{{glossary}}<br /> {{stub}}<br /> A [[one-time reflector]] is a [[constellation]] or other [[pattern]] that can be hit by a [[glider]] to produce another glider travelling in a different direction. This contrasts with permanent [[reflector]]s, which will survive and can be reused to reflect further gliders; and with one-time [[converter]], which produces an output different from the input.<br /> <br /> One-time reflectors are an important component for [[slow salvo]] [[synthesis]], where they are frequently used to change the direction from which a target glider will hit the reaction site.<br /> <br /> If a constellation upon being hit by a glider instead produces a glider travelling in the same direction, it is known as a [[rephaser]].<br /> <br /> The simplest one-time reflectors are [[boat]], [[eater 1]], and [[toad]], any one of which of which can reflect a glider 90°, and [[long boat]], which can reflect a glider either 90° or 180°.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Converter]]<br /> * [[Splitter]]<br /> * [[Boat]]</div>

<p>Badmonkey717: Added a white space</p> <hr /> <div>A  {{disambig|name=flip-flop}} one of three (non-equivalent) types of [[period]] [[:Category:Oscillators with period 2|2]] [[oscillator]]s: <br /> <br /> * Any period 2 oscillator.<br /> * Any period 2 oscillator whose two [[phase]]s are mirror images of one another. Examples include [[by flops]].<br /> * Any period 2 oscillator in which all [[rotor]] cells die from [[underpopulation]]. Examples include [[clock]], [[fox]], and the [[barberpole|barberpoles]].<br /> <br /> In the latter sense it contrasts with [[on-off]], which is a period 2 oscillator whose rotor cells die due to overpopulation. The term has also been used even more specifically to refer to [[phoenix 1]]. <br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> {{LinkLexicon|lex_f.htm#flipflop}}</div>

<p>Badmonkey717: There&#039;s just no way that can work out for the diagram shown, and so I changed it so it does.
