PES Golly for #BAUniC

This is the PES Golly project for #BAUniC at baunic.blogspot.com

If you know how to use Golly, you can directly skip to step 5.

Tests are done on x86, Windows platform. Everything should work also on other platforms. Feel free to try out combinations.

Step 1: Buy a PC with Intel or AMD processor, x86 or x64. Anything that can be bought today should work.

Step 2: Install Windows7 on it. It will work on older or newer windows', but I am sharing my own experience of it.
