Glider bouncer

Post by mk248269 » June 30th, 2012, 12:16 pm

Hi!

Does anyone of you, guys, know of a pattern, which would bounce gliders? I mean, some pattern which would redirect a glider approaching for example from north-west to continue in the direction of north-east (and which would also stay intact, like glider eaters)?

This would make the Rennard's encoding of boolean circuits in conway's life more efficient. I wonder if this is possible. Thanks a lot for any advice!
