#C P46 based glider racetrack -- in reality a P6072 oscillator.
#C
#C *THE* glider starts about in the center, heading NE. Two 90-degree
#C rotations get it going SW, where it enters a "dual kickback" delay.
#C This uses two kickbacks with a p92 stream and a p46 stream to
#C delay the glider a bit. I had to use a p92 for the second stream,
#C since the escaping glider couldn't get out past a p46 stream.
#C I guess this is my own invention, since I don't remember seeing
#C this idea used anywhere else. The delay can be made as large as you
#C want by shifting one of the guns and its corresponding eater. Just
#C be careful to keep it in sync.
#C
#C After another 90 degree turn, it slips through a p46 stream and is
#C reflected by a reaction due to Bill Gosper and Dean Hickerson.
#C It's the reflection that leaves a pond behind, except a p8 blocker
#C deletes the pond. Note that since 8 divides 6072 exactly, this p8
#C has no effect on the total period of the oscillator.
#C
#C Now it hits the stream, killing a glider, and when the hole gets
#C down to a second stream, it allows a single glider to escape. This
#C one then falls down a ladder of three 90 degree turns, and enters
#C a glider-to-MWSS converter, found by I don't know whom. This seems
#C to be based on two guns, one p23 and one p46 gun.
#C
#C The MWSS makes a long eastward trek, and hits a MWSS-to-glider
#C reverse conversion, found by either David Buckingham or Dean
#C Hickerson. I plagarised it from the p15 gun from Dean Hickerson,
#C but in the comments he attributes part of it to David Buckingham.
#C So I don't know who originally came up with this. This has to use
#C a P92 gun to seed it, since the reaction takes so long that a p46
#C gun would send another glider in before the reaction was complete,
#C causing all sorts of havoc.
#C
#C After another 90-degree turn, it enters a reaction that converts
#C the single glider to a pair. I don't know who found this one. One
#C glider hits a p46 stream, creating a hole, while the other passes
#C through and does a 90-degree turn. The "hole" hits another stream,
#C letting one escape, and now we're back to a pair of gliders, one
#C going NW, the other NE.
#C
#C The next reaction is my own discovery; it's a P23 switchable LWSS
#C gun, inspired by David Bell's P30 switchable gun. The NW glider
#C turns it on, the NE one turns it off. You can delay these as needed
#C to let as many LWSS escape as you want: in this instance it's only
#C turned on long enough to allow a single LWSS to escape.
#C
#C The LWSS gets turned south by another p46 shuttle, and eventually
#C gets converted back to a NW glider by yet another p46. The glider
#C enters a reaction that reflects by converting to a block, and then
#C converting the block. Dean Hickerson found this one. Lastly, it
#C gets turned 90 degrees, and is back where it started from.
