It starts a reaction, which rotates the glider by 90 degrees.

If only this was stable and didn't die when a glider collides... :lol: That'd be too easy. I found this a while ago, the two dots are rotated 90 degrees, but generation two is the same:

Code: Select all

x = 48, y = 62, rule = B3/S23

It sorts gliders out based on the way they're flipped. I found this when I was looking for puffers.
