Bricklayer
Bricklayer is a pattern that was constructed by David Bell on September 29, 2002. It builds two ever-lengthening diagonal lines of blocks starting at the bottom-left of the pattern.[1] It works by firing gliders in such as way as to perpetuate the lumps of muck reaction. It makes use of the glider reflector listed under pipsquirter 2.

gollark: Not great when there are multiple parallel discussions, plus there's no way for stuff people like to be more visible.
gollark: I've always thought that forums were poorly structured for most conversation anyway - you just put text into linear things and quote people usually.
gollark: Inconsistency is important - memorizing the differences between countless weirdnesses is a waste of development time.
gollark: You could write it in assembly and it might work.
gollark: Many things work.
