NAME

glsnake - OpenGL enhanced Rubik's Snake cyclewaster.

SYNOPSIS

glsnake [--display host:display.screen] [--window] [--root]
[--window-id number] [--visual visual] [--delay microseconds] [--fps]
[--wireframe] [--altcolour] [--angvel angular] [--explode distance]
[--statictime milliseconds] [--yangvel angle] [--zangvel angle]

DESCRIPTION

glsnake is an imitation of Rubiks' Snake, using OpenGL.

OPTIONS

glsnake accepts the following options:

--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.

--install
Install a private colormap for the window.

--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.

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

--wireframe
Display the snake in wireframe mode, rather than the default
solid mode.

--altcolour
Use the alternate colour scheme for the snake. Shape
identification using colour will be disabled.

-angvel angular
Change the speed at which the snake morphs to a new shape.

-explode distance
Change the distance between the nodes of a snake.

--statictime milliseconds
Change the time between morphs.

--yangvel angle
Change the angle of rotation around the Y axis per frame.

--zangvel angle
Change the angle of rotation around the Z axis per frame.

ENVIRONMENT

DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

XENVIRONMENT
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
The window ID to use with --root.

BUGS

The snake will happily intersect itself while morphing (this is not a
bug).

The rotation/camera position sucks.
