lightweight spaceship

noun

Definitions

  1. A particular orthogonal spaceship in Conway's Game of Life, and the smallest such example.

    • It's a reaction between a glider and a lightweight spaceship spark, nondestructive to the spaceship (so it can be used in puffers):
    • The usual non-glider suspects from Conway's Life (lightweight, middleweight, and heavyweight spaceships) all fail here due to central 7-neighbor OFF cells.
