Brice Due has found a new variety of Twin Bee Period 92 Glider Gun,
shown here on the right. On the left is shown a previously known Glider Gun which was simply a pair of
Period 46 Guns with every other Glider removed from the stream.
Dave Greene has also used this new gun to make a smaller version of a Period 644 composite gun.
Paul Rendell has again made available his Game of Life Turing Machine document.
Josh Ball has found a signal source for a previously known Period 6 Lightspeed Wick and terminal
end. Shown here is a minimum case for the oscillator as well as a longer version.
Nicolay Beluchenko has found a Period 5 c/5 diagonal tubeater. Shown here is a Period 4 c/4 tubstretcher forming a growing spaceship.
Mitchell Riley has found by hand a 40 bit pattern which quickly becomes a Period 140 Quadratic Growth
Puffer which produces a Switch Engine every cycle. Also shown is Gen 1540, where the fifth Switch Engine is just starting out.
