Re: Synthesising Oscillators
Here's a 62-glider synthesis of the canonical version of "1-2-3-4", inspired by the 23-glider Mini Pressure Cooker synthesis and begging for a reduction to the 36-glider synthesis for xs19_354q453z0bd: (several RLEs) When I had made the original synthesis of the canonical variant, I had been lackin...

Re: How about a direct highway robber?
The P0 at the end tells dr2 that it should fill any new cells with live cells 0% of the time, a.k.a. never. Replacing it with P100 will work backwards from the end of the P0 search.
