| has gloss | eng: The glider is a pattern that travels across the board in Conways Game of Life. It was first discovered by Richard K. Guy in 1970, while John Conways group was attempting to track the evolution of the R-pentomino. Gliders are the smallest spaceships, and they travel diagonally at a speed of c/4. The glider is often produced from randomly-generated starting configurations. Importance Gliders are important to the Game of Life because they are easily produced, can be collided with each other to form more complicated objects, and can be used to transmit information over long distances. For instance, eight gliders can be positioned so that they collide to form a Gosper glider gun . Glider collisions designed to result in certain patterns are also called glider syntheses. |

| has gloss | ita: Negli automi cellulari, una navicella (o astronave, in inglese spaceship) è una configurazione di celle in grado di traslare nello spazio con lo scorrere delle generazioni. Formalmente, una configurazione è chiamata navicella se, in seguito a un numero finito di generazioni (chiamato periodo della navicella), essa si ripresenta nella medesima disposizione e orientazione, ma in una posizione spaziale differente. |

| has gloss | nld: Een glider is een patroon in de Game of Life van John Conway dat zich voortbeweegt over het raster (grid). Het is ontdekt door Richard Guy. Het is het kleinste voortbewegende patroon (ook spaceships genoemd) in de Game of Life. Om de vier iteraties heeft het patroon zich 1 cel verplaatst over het grid. De glider ontstaat vaak uit willekeurige configuraties (toestanden) van de cellulaire automaat. |
