#N log(t)^2
#C Population in generation t is asymptotic to
#C (5 log(t)^2)/(3 log(2)^2).  More specifically, for
#C n>=2,  the population in generation  960*2^n  is
#C (5n^2+170n)/3 + 1831 - (if  n mod 3 = 1  then 25/3 else 0).
#C This uses a caber tosser, a modified block pusher, and a toggleable
#C p120 gun.  Each glider from the caber tosser turns on the gun and
#C causes the block pusher to go through one cycle (sending out a
#C salvo and awaiting the return gliders).  When the cycle is
#C complete, the gun is turned back off.
