gosperglidergun

A true period 30 glider gun. The first known gun and the first known finite pattern with unbounded growth.

Size:36x9 | Rule:23/3 | @lifewiki

This pattern demonstrates the existence of guns of all periods greater than or equal to 80. This pattern produces a period-80 gun. To increase the period by N: 1. Move the top 33 rows diagonally to the northeast by N cells. 2. Adjust the eight gliders so that they are separated by 80+N ticks.
