NAME

topblock - a 3D world of falling blocks that build up and up.

SYNOPSIS

topblock [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-delay number] [-wireframe] [-fps] [-size number] [-spawn number] [-camX number] [-camY number] [-camZ number] [-rotate] [-no- carpet] [-no-nipples] [-blob] [-rotateSpeed number] [-follow] [-maxFalling number] [-resolution number] [-maxColors number] [-dropSpeed number] [-override]

DESCRIPTION

Creates a world of falling blocks that build up and up.

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. -delay number Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 10000 (0.01 seconds.). -wireframe | -no-wireframe Render in wireframe instead of solid. -fps Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count. -size number Size of the base/carpet. -spawn number Likeyhood of a new block being created per frame : 1 high, 1000 very low. -camX number Initial camera X location in the world. -camY number Initial camera Y location in the world. -camZ number Initial camera Z location in the world. -rotate | -no-rotate Add/Remove rotation to/from the animation. -no-carpet Remove the base/carpet. -no-nipples Remove nipples on the blocks (also applies to udders) (has no effect in blob mode). -blob Run in blob mode, blocks become over sized spheres. -rotateSpeed number Varries speed of world rotation. -follow Camera follows blocks as they fall instead of camera being semi static (stays with top block). -maxFalling number Maximum number of objects created before recycling occurs. -resolution number Resolution of tubes, disks and spheres. -maxColors number Number of different colors available to falling objects. -dropSpeed number Varries speed of falling objects. -override Overrides camera settings and provides a tunnel view.

KEYS

a Increases viewing X coordinate. z Decreases viewing X coordinate. s Increases viewing Y coordinate. x Decreases viewing Y coordinate. d Increases viewing Z coordinate. c Decreases viewing Z coordinate. f Increases camera location X coordinate. v Decreases camera location X coordinate. g Increases camera location Y coordinate. b Decreases camera location Y coordinate. h Increases camera location Z coordinate. n Decreases camera location Z coordinate. r Increases world rotation. q quit.

EXAMPLES

To see which block follow-mode is tracking, set the number of block colors to 1. topblock -follow -maxColors 1

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.
