p49 glider shuttle

The p49 glider shuttle is a period-49 oscillator discovered in its original form by Noam Elkies on August 1, 1999,[1] and was the first period 49 oscillator to be found.[2] It consists of four p7 bouncers reflecting four gliders around a period 49 track. In the infobox a slightly smaller pipsquirter 2, found by Karel Suhajda on January 24, 2003, is used.

In terms of its 400 cells, it was the smallest known period 49 oscillator until the discovery of Snark-based adjustable glider loops in 2013. Currently the p49 bumper loop with 206 cells is the smallest p49 oscillator.

gollark: Esolang idea: variables have full revision history.
gollark: Undoubtedly.
gollark: One time the exploit was released in an obfuscated bytecodey form, but they left the debugging symbols in, so I could just run it through a decompiler. Fun times.
gollark: I've had to reverse engineer obfuscated potatOS exploit programs fairly often.
