A Genetic approach to search for glider guns in cellular automata

— We aim to search for cellular automata candidate to an automatic system for the demonstration of collision-based universality and that can be able to simulate Turing machines in their space-time dynamics using gliders and glider guns. In this paper, we demonstrate a variety of novel glider guns discovered by genetic algorithms.
