NAME

       glsnake - OpenGL enhanced Rubik's Snake cyclewaster.


SYNOPSIS

       glsnake [-display host:display.screen] [-window] [-root] [-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.

       -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.


FILES

       /usr/share/glsnake/*.glsnake
              This XScreenSaver will attempt to read model files installed
              with the interactive glsnake.

BUGS

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

       The rotation/camera position sucks.
