Synthesis

A 16-glider synthesis was found by Jeremy Tan on March 29, 2019 based on a soup submitted to Catagolue.[2]

gollark: See, that seems a reasonably reasonable system which would *not* have to rely entirely on one company.
gollark: Yes, that seems good.
gollark: If people are silly dodecahedra who refuse to learn new tech, that is their problem.
gollark: A lot of the time you as a user *can* just pay directly by card, which is better in some ways and worse in others.
gollark: Anyone can screw you over horribly because payments are broken.
