What is bgolly? Does it mean a beta version of Golly or what?
It's not a beta. It's a command-line version of Golly with no graphical user interface, mostly used for testing purposes -- nothing you need to worry about.gameoflifemaniac wrote:What is bgolly? Does it mean a beta version of Golly or what?
