The birthday puffer is a naturally-occuring infinite growth pattern that is a combination of two glider-producing switch engines. It was found by Adam P. Goucher using his own apgsearch script.[1][2] Its name comes from the fact that it was found on Adam's birthday.[3] It was handled manually, making its apgcode inconsistent with the format of other linear-growth patterns.
