#Life 1.05 #D Sawtooth with external timing #D A p8 blinker puffer (found by Bob Wainwright) moves west. A glider #D bounces between a fixed reflector (in gens 480*2^n-701 (n>=1)) #D and a southeastward Cordership (in gens 720*2^n-661 (n>=1)). #D Each bounce from the fixed reflector releases a salvo (formed in #D gens 480*2^n-310 (n>=1)) consisting of a MWSS and 2 LWSSs aimed #D toward the line of blinkers. The salvo hits the nearest blinker #D in gen 2400*2^n-880n-3115 (n>=1), causing the blinker line to #D decay at 2c/3. (Another salvo, present in the initial pattern, #D hits in gen 5.) When the decay catches up to the puffer, a new #D line of blinkers starts to form (in gen 3840*2^n-880n-3760 (n>=0)). #D #D When the salvo hits the blinker line, the population is large, #D about 180*2^n in gens around 2400*2^n. (Specifically, in gen #D 2400*2^n-880n-3115 there are 60*2^n-29 blinkers.) When the #D decay catches up with the puffer, the population is bounded, about #D 1400 in gens around 3840*2^n-880n. #D (This header was written by Dean Hickerson, 4/4/93) #D David I.
