SYNOPSIS

flyingtoasters [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual]
[--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--delay number] [--speed
number] [--ntoasters number] [--nslices number] [--no-texture] [--no-
fog] [--wireframe] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION

Draws a squadron of shiny 3D space-age jet-powered flying toasters,
and associated toast, flying across your screen.

OPTIONS

--visual visual
Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a
visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
visual.

--window
Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

--root Draw on the root window.

--window-id number
Draw on the specified window.

--delay number
Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 30000 (0.03
seconds.).

--speed number
How fast the toasters fly. Larger for faster. Default: 1.0.

--ntoasters number
How many toasters to draw. Default 20.

--nslices number
How many slices of toast to draw. Default 25.

--no-texture
Turn off texture mapping (for slow machines.)

--no-fog
Turn off fog (do not fade out distant toasters.)

--wireframe
Render in wireframe instead of solid.

--fps Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

The original After Dark flying toasters, with the fluffy white wings,
were a trademark of Berkeley Systems. Berkeley Systems ceased to
exist some time in 1998, having been gobbled up by Sierra Online, who
were subsequently gobbled up by Flipside and/or Vivendi (it's hard to
tell exactly what happened when.)

I doubt anyone even cares any more, but if they do, hopefully this
homage, with the space-age 3D jet-plane toasters, will be considered
different enough that whoever still owns the trademark to the fluffy-
winged 2D bitmapped toasters won't get all huffy at us.
