#C Life computes pi
#C Population in gen t is asymptotic to  (pi-2)/720 t^2.
#C Four p120 breeders move north, east, south, and west.  The gliders from
#C each gun run into those from the corresponding gun that's 90 degrees
#C clockwise, in a vanish reaction.  Let T(n) be the triangle with vertices
#C (0,0), (0, t/(2n)), and (t/(2(n+2)), 0).  Within the first quadrant, the
#C gliders occupy, with density 1/90, the triangle T(1), with the
#C triangle T(3) deleted, with the triangle T(5) added back in, with the
#C triangle T(7) deleted, etc.  Since T(n) has area  t^2/(8n(n+2)) =
#C t^2/16 (1/n - 1/(n+2)),  the occupied area in the first quadrant
#C is  t^2/16 ((1 - 1/3) - (1/3 - 1/5) + (1/5 - 1/7) - ...)  =
#C t^2/16 (1 - 2/3 + 2/5 - 2/7 + ...)  =  t^2/32 (pi-2).  The same is true
#C of the other quadrants, so the population is about
#C 1/90 * 4 * t^2/32 (pi-2)  =  (pi-2)/720 t^2.
