Six Ls

Six Ls is a period-3 oscillator that can be thought of as a compact form of loading dock, as they share the same rotor, but six Ls has a narrower stator. Its name comes from the fact that it is composed of six L tetrominoes (tails).

Synthesis

A 20-glider synthesis was found by Jeremy Tan on March 29, 2019 based on a soup submitted to Catagolue.[1] This was improved to 18 gliders by Mark Niemiec two days later.[2]

gollark: And it has a webhook mode, but it's not available in here due to lol no manage webhook perms.
gollark: ABR just doesn't bridge edits.
gollark: It is meant to operate in webhook mode. This is a somewhat bad fallback.
gollark: ⁰th.
gollark: You should give ABR webhook permissions such that [BEE EXPUNGED] infinite webhook generation.
