	[[Andrew J. Wade]]'s life slice spaceship search (or LSSS for short) is the latest shiny new search program for finding ships in Life and Life-Like CA (though it doesn't support [[Isotropic non-totalistic cellular automaton\|isotropic rules]] or any other CA.) It's by far the fastest search program for orthogonal spaceships in those rules, so it's pretty useful.		[[Andrew J.

This is because LSSS uses a shell script that repeatedly and frequently executes the LSSS binary.
