3 Gliders move a block

Post by Awesomeness » August 6th, 2009, 3:15 pm

I found a weird reaction which moves a block. I found it When I was bored. I just put random gliders around a block to see what happens. Anyways, it moves the block up one pixel. Here it is:

Code: Select all

x = 132, y = 126, rule = B3/S23

129bo!
I wanted to make a block puller out of it, but the gliders are so close together I don't think I could make it, even if I did know a slide gun that made a glider 1 bit north of the previous.

Accidentally found a reaction that advances a glider by six generations and shifts it leftward by four cells.

Code: Select all

x = 50, y = 53, rule = B3/S23

The rightmost glider is not needed for the specific reaction, delete the glider in front of it to make it "useful".

Wow, finding a lot of block movers!
