Pure glider generator

A pure glider generator (or simply glider generator) is a pattern that evolves into one or more gliders and nothing else. There was some interest in these early on (they were reported on quite frequently in the early issues of Lifeline, for example), but they are no longer considered important.

Examples

The 4-8-12 diamond RLE: here
