Compiling and Running

• Clone this project in to visual studio and open the solution
• Copy all the contents in the GL directory to your Windows\system32 or/and Windows\sysWOW64 directories.
• After importing to visual studio, right click on the project selecto properties then choose linker to add a dependency. Please change the "Additional Library Directories" pointing GL directory to your GL directory. Otherwise the program won't compile.
• Set your world parameters before compiling by changing PanelH and PanelW. Default is 500x500 with 500 generations.
• Compile and run

Low end devices may not support tcompstart for worlds larger than 500x500 meaning that the framerate will be significantly low
