# This script uses Gabriel Nivasch's "keep minima" algorithm.
# For each generation, calculate a hash value for the pattern.  Keep all of
# the record-breaking minimal hashes in a list, with the oldest first.
# For example, after 5 generations the saved hash values might be:
# 
#   8 12 16 24 25,
# 
# If the next hash goes down to 13 then the list can be shortened:
# 
#   8 12 13.
# 
# When the current hash matches one of the saved hashes, it is highly likely
# the pattern is oscillating.  By keeping a corresponding list of generation
# counts we can calculate the period.  We also keep lists of population
# counts and bounding boxes; they are used to reduce the chance of spurious
# oscillator detection due to hash collisions.  The bounding box info also
# allows us to detect moving oscillators (spaceships/knightships).
