Still Lives

First I'm going to say something more about the reaction I found last time. It is not possible to use the garbage to destroy another glider, which means you'll have to wait a lot longer to be able to destroy a glider at that side of the oscillator. It's easy to use 4 p60 (I think) gliderguns, put them to all four directions and destroy all the gliders using just one of those p12 oscillators (I forgot the name and I'm to lazy to look it up).

To the point now, I found out you can make squares and stabilize them using blocks on the outside. On the inside you can use blocks or smaller squares. It only works for squares of size 2n x 2n (it might be possible for odd numbers too, but I didn't find a way immediatly), but I though it was pretty cool.

I've got nothing to say,
