#Life 1.05 #D Still-Life Reflector #D #D Converts one glider into 4 for any input stream #D with a period of 672 or greater, unless pipelining #D techniques are employed. It is a great challenge #D to come up with the small, fast reflector that #D consists solely of still-lifes. Dieter Leithner #D (dietrich.deithner@dlr.de) is offering a $100 #D prize for the first stable glider reflector that #D fits within a 50x50 box. #D #D A glider collides with a boat in generation 97, #D destroying the boat but creating a B-heptomino at #D generation 107. This is converted into a Herschel #D in 59 generations. Herschel conduits of lengths 64, #D 77, 77, 64, 64, 77, 119, and 64 set the Herschel up #D for a final collision to recreate the destroyed #D boat. #D #D The first stable glider reflectors were created by #D Paul Callahan and Dean Hickerson in late 1996. This #D one by Dave Buckingham, May 30, 1997. #N #P -31 -20 ** *.* .* #P -44 -16 *.** **.* #P -35 -13 ** ** #P -27 -5 ..** ..* *.* ** #P -47 13 ** ** #P -46 20 ** ** #P -42 18 ** ** #P -40 24 ** ** #P -26 25 ..** ...* *** * #P -11 24 ** ** #P -11 5 ...* .*** * ** #P -1 12 * *** ...* ..** #P 14 15 ** ** #P 14 32 ** * .*** ...* #P 20 22 ..** .*.* .* ** #P 34 29 ** ** #P 39 24 ** ** #P 41 28 ** ** #P 45 22 ** ** #P 12 4 ..** ...* *** *..*** ..*...* .**..** #P 43 -13 ** ** #P 45 -7 ** ** #P 49 -9 ** ** #P 50 -2 ** ** #P 27 -16 ...* .*** * ** #P 14 -13 ** ** #P 3 -3 ** *.* ..* ..** #P 0 -33 ...* .*** * ** #P -1 -27 ** ** #P -6 -26 ** ** #P -7 -32 ** ** #P -14 1 ..** ...* *** * #P -16 -1 ** ** #P -20 -8 * *** ...* ..*.* ...* #P -18 -14 ** ** #P -26 -40 ** ** #P -33 -39 ** ** #P -31 -35 ** ** #P -37 -33 ** ** #P -26 -17 ** * .*** ...* #P -59 -46 * .** **
