Not exactly a counterfeit glider, but this impresses me:

Code: Select all

x = 22, y = 4, rule = B2k3-e4-ceiry/S2-ik3-a4c6c

No, they alternate between gluders and anti-gliders.

technically, since this is an unorthodox rule (defined as a rule in which no periodic object in it can be offset forward or backward any number of steps without its evolution changing relative to the subrule it was moved to) this could also be considered a true period c/2o too.

though i doubt anyone in this thread would particularly care.

Life viewer cannot run wolfram rules higher than 254, but in rule 420 you'll see gliders.

I recently ran into a LifeWiki talk page comment on the Glider page, written by myself.
The glider also works in B013568/S01, but in this rule it is a C/2 orthogonal spaceship instead. Evolve the Z-pentomino, the only pentomino to grow infinitely to see for yourself. Some of the gliders will be pulling tagalongs, like a duoplet. -wwei23 1:06 PM 9/23/2015 NY time
What I was describing was a counterfeit glider.

Code: Select all

# You can save the pattern into this box with Settings/Pattern/Save or Ctrl-S.
x = 2, y = 3, rule = B013568/S01

EDIT: Added LifeViewer commands to deal with phase issues.

For alpha-gliders, there are 4 p2 and 42 p3 photons. For beta-gliders, there are 3 p2 and 13 p3 photons.
