The strange program draws strange attractors
strange accepts the following options:

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

parts of the image brighter or darker depending on how often
the attractor hits each pixel.
--point-size integer
Changes the size of individual points. Default 1.
--zoom float
Zooms in or out. Default 0.9.
--brightness float
Adjusts the brightness for accumulator mode. Default 1.0.

Adds motion blur. Default 3.0, no motion blur is 1.0.
--fps Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
XENVIRONMENT
