Blocker is a period 8 oscillator found by Robert Wainwright. It is a useful dot sparker consisting of two blocks hassling an unnamed object which is a dying spark. It reappears half way through its cycle rotated through 180 degrees.

Blocker is about the sixteenth most common naturally-occurring oscillator in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than mazing but more common than jam.[1] On Catagolue, it is the second most common period 8 oscillator, being less common than the figure eight but more common than Coe's p8.[2]
