#C SloPuf: Move fast but Puff slowly.
#C A good motto to live your Life by.
#C
#C This can be modified in two ways to give larger
#C periods as follows:
#C
#C Moving the back 12 spaceships backwards by 9 cells and
#C outwards by 3 cells increases the period by 96.
#C
#D Moving the back 6 spaceships forwards by one cell and
#C outwards by one cell, and moving the next 6 spaceships
#C forwards by 3 cells and inwards by one cell increases
#C the period by 8 and leaves one more blinker as output.
#C (This can only be done when there is sufficient room
#C along the center line.)
#C
#C An interesting linear combination of the two rules
#C results in the following:
#C
#C Moving the back six spaceships backwards by 6 cells
#C and outwards by 6 cells increases the period by 120
#C and leaves 3 more blinkers as output.
