17 This program animates a puzzle known as Cube 21 or Square-1. Its moves
18 are chosen randomly.
19 Cube 21 is a Rubik-like puzzle invented in 1992. Its specialities are
21 that it can change its shape and even the number of possible moves. It
22 can have more than 200 different shapes and the total number of config‐
23 urations (assuming colors) is several tens of billions.
24
26 cube21 accepts the following options:
27 -window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
29 -root Draw on the root window.
31 -install
33 Install a private colormap for the window.
34 -visual visual
36 Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a
37 visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
38 visual.
39 -delay microseconds
41 How long to pause between frames. Default is 20000, or 0.02
42 second.
43 -texture
45 Use texture maps. This is the default.
46 -no-texture
48 Use solid colors.
49 -mono Disable both texture maps and colors.
51 -wireframe
53 Only draw outlines. Outlines of all pieces, not only the whole
54 object, are drawn.
55 -spin Spin the whole object around X, Y and Z axes. This is the
57 default.
58 -no-spin
60 Do not spin, showing the same three faces all the time.
61 -wander Move the object around the screen. This is the default.
63 -no-wander
65 Keep the object centered on the screen.
66 -randomize
68 Shuffle the puzzle randomly at startup. This is the default.
69 -no-randomize
71 Do not shuffle at startup, begin at the shape of cube.
72 -spinspeed number
74 The relative speed of spinning. Default is 1.0.
75 -rotspeed number
77 The relative speed of the moves. Default is 3.0. Setting to ≤
78 0.0 makes the object stay at one configuration.
79 -wanderspeed number
81 The relative speed of wandering around the screen. Default is
82 1.0.
83 -wait number
85 How long to stay at ending position after each move. The mean‐
86 ing of the argument is again relative. Default is 40.0.
87 -cubesize number
89 Size of the object. Value of 3.0 fills roughly all the screen
90 (its height). Default is 0.7.
91 -colormode argument
93 How many and which colors should the object have. The colors
94 are put on the piece faces so that the puzzle is solvable. The
95 inner faces are not influenced.
96 se or silver
98 Simulate the "Silver Edition" - white and one random
99 color.
100 2 or two
102 Two random colors.
103 ce or classic
105 Simulate the "Classic Edition" - white, yellow, orange,
106 red, green and blue.
107 6 or six
109 Six random colors.
110 1 or random or rnd
112 One random color.
113 Anything else
115 All faces white.
116 -fps Display a running tally of how many frames per second are being
118 rendered. In conjunction with -delay 0, this can be a useful
119 benchmark of your GL performance.
120
122 DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
123 XENVIRONMENT
125 to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
126 resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
