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.
