51
52 -no-color
53 Use the original black and white visualization.
54
55 -growth-delay delayms (Default: 10000)
56 Delay in ms between growth cycles. More delay, slower (but less
57 CPU intensive).
58
59 -particles-number particles (Default: 5000)
60 The number of particles in the system. With more particles the
61 fps can also be affected.
62
63 -ring-radius radius (Default: 40)
64 The radius of the ring where the particles are born, in pixels.
65
67 DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
68
69 XENVIRONMENT
