A notable early example of computer searches being used to find cellular automata patterns was [[Dean Hickerson]]'s oscillator and spaceship search program in {{year\|1989}}, which found patterns such as [[caterer]], [[monogram]], [[fumarole]], [[64P2H1V0]], [[84P3H1V0.1]], [[119P4H1V0]]. The latter two of these were the first known spaceships of speeds [[c/3 orthogonal\|c/3]] and [[c/4 orthogonal]] respectively. More recently, [[Sir Robin]], the first [[elementary]] [[oblique spaceship]] in Conway's Game of Life, was discovered by [[Adam P. Goucher]] in {{year\|2018}} using a new search program known as [[ikpx]].
