- #N Sqrtgun 3.0
- #O Dean Hickerson, drhickerson@ucdavis.edu 1/28/91
- #C Population in generation t is asymptotic to
- #C 5 sqrt(t/12). A 4 glider salvo pushes a blinker 3
- #C units southeast and sends back a glider, which causes
- #C another salvo to be fired and a glider to be sent
- #C northeast. The round trip time, and hence the gap
- #C between northeastward gliders, increases by an average
- #C of 24 generations each time. More specifically, let
- #C a[0]=207, a[1]=159, a[2]=-33, a[3]=111, and a[4]=231.
- #C For n>=0, a glider is sent northeast (by reflection
- #C from a buckaroo) in generation
- #C 12 n^2 + 1116 n + a[n mod 5] (at which time, for
- #C n>=1, the population is 5n + 1297) and escapes about
- #C 300 generations later.
