The '''block-laying switch engine''' (or '''block-making switch engine''') is a [[puffer]] that was found by [[:Category:Patterns found by Charles Corderman|Charles Corderman]]. It consists of a [[switch engine]] reacting with [[block]]s to create an infinite number of new blocks (eight new blocks every 288 [[generation]]s).

It is the most common naturally-occurring pattern that exhibits [[infinite growth]], and is one of only two patterns that exhibits infinite growth that has been known to occur naturally (the other being the [[glider-producing switch engine]]).
A game invented in October 2009 at First Flight High School where participants use the word appletart or some of its variants. Originally it was focused on who could say it the loudest but has evolved over time. The ways to play include: 1. Who can say appletart the loudest? 2. Who can say appletart the most in a game? 3. Who will say appletart last? 4. Who will day appletart in the funniest or most awkward situations? 5. What word will be matched when someone says appletart? Will it be appletart, applepie, poptart, or something else?1. kid 1: Appletart. kid 2: Appletart! kid 1: APPLETART!

Because of its easy construction (see the predecessor below), it has appeared in some superlinear growth patterns including [[mosquito 1]] and [[mosquito 2]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.argentum.freeserve.co.uk/lex_m.htm#mosquito1|title=Mosquito 1|author=Stephen Silver|publisher=The Life Lexicon|accessdate=June 1, 2009}}</ref>
