“I think⟳ you're talking about a configuration known as "eater," a still life in 6-8 cells. If the glider hits the right spot, the eater will form⟳ a bridge and destroy⟳ the glider while undergoing little change⟳ before reverting.”

“Thus, a natural question⟳, apparently proposed very early, was whether there exists a still life (i.e. period 1 oscillator) that reflects a glider.”

“I haven't tested yet, but I expect⟳ hlife to win⟳ by a very large margin since the puffer train⟳ has lots of still life and blinkers to make⟳ Gosper's algorithm look⟳ good, and hlife's low-level implementation is quite good at handling the more random parts.”
