Banana spark

A banana spark is a common three-bit polyplet spark used in glider synthesis and signal circuitry. The buckaroo is an oscillator that produces this spark, and the twin bees shuttle produces a variation of this spark. It can be used to turn a glider 90 degrees, as shown in the infobox pattern.
