Jagged lines

Jagged lines is a pattern constructed by Dean Hickerson in May 2005 that uses puffers to produce a line of bi-blocks that weaves back and forth in a complicated way.

Discovered by Dean Hickerson
Year of discovery 2005

In 2019, Dean Hickerson discovered that modifications to this pattern could create the variant patterns he dubbed mountain ranges. The size, slope, and composition of the "mountains" is highly variable and depends on the relative positions and phases of the rakes used to initiate the pattern.[1]

Generation 10000 of this pattern, with the namesake "jagged line" of bi-blocks circled in green. The other lines are made up of gliders.
gollark: ```channel {Number<1-65535>} Channel ID to transmit on.reply_channel {Number<1-65535>} The senders designated reply channel.```
gollark: Also, reply channels don't exist.
gollark: Okay, ignore that.Mine supports string or number channels, getting away from the historic uselessness that is rednet.
gollark: AARGH I CAN'T TALK.
gollark: Tyranny of *number* channels.
