Once upon a time there was a glider. It was a very tiny spaceship generated from a random soup with a density of 2%.

It felt very lonely, because it thought it was alone in the whole Life universe when all the remaining ash died: even if there was a second nearby glider. But the little glider didn't notice it because of a very small field of vision. But it eventually met it. It said:
(Glider) -Hi! My name is Glider. What's your name?
(Glider 2) -My name is Glider too XD
(Glider) -How are you?
(Glider 2) -I was sad because I thought that I was all alone here. but we're lucky that we met each other.
(Glider) -Me too. Yeah, we are lucky, but... being a glider is so lame. I want to be a LWSS.
(Glider 2) -Oh... (thinking) I've got it! Let's collide!
(Glider) -OK!
Code: Select all
x = 10, y = 12, rule = B3/S23
8bo$7bo$7b3o7$3o$2bo$bo!
But the gliders didn't know that a glider synthesis of a LWSS requires 3 gliders, not two. Unfortunately, the collision led to a block.
(Glider) -Blocks are even more boring. I want to split.
(Glider 2) -Holy words. Let's do it.
(Glider) -Oh no! We can't escape! HEEEEEEEELP!
But they did get a response...
(Calcyman, my favourite lifeenthusiast) -What happened to you, gliders?
Glider 1 said him everything, what happened.
(Calcyman) -I will save you. Wait a minute, first I must go the Golly Archives, then to the Rule Table Repository and then to Miscellaneous, and finally to Reversible Life. Oh, there's a Python script there to reverse the collision!
The gliders were happy they will split, but when Calcyman ran the script, it showed an error:
The Python library does not have this symbol:
Py_InitModule4
He didn't install Python!
He went to Python Scripting, used the link, downloaded the installer and installed Python. Then the script worked.
The locked gliders felt weird, because the script took them back in time. But they we're free!
(Gliders) -Thanks Calcyman! Now can glide through the universe without problems!
(Glider) -But my dream didn't come true. I want to be a LWSS, which I knew would be doable by collision. But my intuition says that it's impossible to create a lightweight spaceship with two gliders - it requires three. Could you draw for us a third glider?
(Calcyman) -No problem! Your intuition was right.
The only thing left was the collision. Calcyman arranged the gliders just in the right way and ran the pattern.
Code: Select all
x = 10, y = 7, rule = B3/S23
7b2o$7bobo$obo4bo$b2o$bo3bo$5b2o$4bobo!
The glider turned into a LWSS.
The End
