c/4 diagonal is a diagonal speed that is equivalent to one fourth of the speed of light.

Spaceships

c/4 diagonal was the first spaceship speed to be discovered when Richard Guy found the glider in 1970. The glider was the only known c/4 diagonal spaceship until Dean Hickerson's searches discovered the big glider in December 1989. Robert Wainwright then found a few small tagalongs for this spaceship, including one that could connect two or more big gliders, giving arbitrarily large c/4 diagonal spaceships. Since then many c/4 diagonal spaceships have been found. Of particular note are those spaceships that produce sparks, such as Tim Coe's swan. On October 5, 2025, Matthias Merzenich confirmed that the 25-cell crab (originally found by Jason Summers in 2000) is the second smallest possible period-4 c/4 diagonal spaceship after the glider.[1] The first higher-period c/4 diagonal spaceship used two swans to pull a period-8 tagalong and was discovered by Jason Summers in November 2000. In September 2005 Hartmut Holzwart found a c/4 diagonal period-12 spaceship.[2][3] There is a severe lack of higher period c/4 diagonal spaceship technology until period 4508, for which David Bell in October 2005 constructed a rake with an adjustable period of 4508 + 32N, which can easily be turned into a spaceship by deleting the outgoing glider with a swan.[4]

Puffers

The first c/4 diagonal puffer was discovered by Hartmut Holzwart on February 9, 2004, which creates a tub and beehive every 28 generations.[4] On September 30, 2005 Jason Summers constructed a period 4284 puffer that was the basis of David Bell's adjustable rake. Additional low-period puffers were found by praosylen in October 2019 and March 2020.[5][6]

Rakes

On October 14, 2005 David Bell constructed an adjustable period sideways rake with period 4508 + 32N based on Jason Summers' period 4284 puffer.

p116 c/4d technology

A period 116 puffer was discovered by Keith Amling in November 2023.[7] Adding one glider to the engine releases a glider output.[8] Multiple period-116 spaceships, rakes and puffers were discovered in the following days.[9][10][11][12][13] A period 230376 diagonal c/4 spaceship was completed by David Bell on December 5, 2023,[14] and a period 197316 version was completed on the next day.[15] A sawtooth with a minimum repeating population of 70079 was completed by David Bell on December 7, 2023.[16]

Wickstretchers

Hartmut Holzwart discovered the first c/4 diagonal wickstretcher, boatstretcher 1, on June 1, 1993. Holzwart also found a c/4 diagonal linestretcher on November 19, 2004. An incomplete wickstretcher was found by Paul Tooke in September 2004 for a period 6 wick, and in January 2013, Jason Summers and Matthias Merzenich found a stationary termination that completes the wickstretcher.[17] In October 2004 Hartmut Holzwart found a c/4 diagonal eater for this wick.

Guns

Many glider guns have been made that shoot gliders, however no gun was constructed for any other c/4 diagonal spaceship before December 2014, when refinement of the glider synthesis of the crab enabled a period-120 gun to be completed.[18]
