The glider is a pattern that travels across the board in Conway's Game of Life. It was first discovered by Richard K. Guy in 1969, while John Conway's group was attempting to track the evolution of the R-pentomino. Gliders are the smallest spaceships, and they travel diagonally at a speed of one cell every four generations, or . The glider is often produced from randomly generated starting configurations. John Conway remarked that he wished he hadn't called it the glider. The game was developed before the widespread use of interactive computers, and after seeing it animated, he feels the glider looks more like an ant walking across the plane. (Wikipedia).

Glider forms can be very different, but they seem to share a basic principle: something thick at the front, something thin at the back and a hole in the middle. code available at sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/smoothlife/files/

Game of Life: Gosper glider gun
The Gosper glider gun is a pattern in the Game of Life. The Game of Life is a cellular automaton invented by John Conway in the late 1960s. I write about it in my book Alex Through the Looking-Glass: How Life Reflects Numbers and Numbers Reflect Life: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/14088177

Generalized Conway Game of Life - SmoothLife2
The method allows for stable structures. However stable structures and gliders at the same time are difficult to get. At least starting off the random initialisation.

Generalized Conway Game of Life - SmoothLife1
I have generalized Conway's Game of Life to arbitrary lattice topologies. Gliders can now go in any direction. This is achieved by a ring shaped kernel with an inner and an outer radius, anti aliasing and smooth step functions. I called it SmoothLife. Download source code and Windows exec
