NAME

6       queens - n queens screensaver
7

SYNOPSIS

9       queens  [-display  host:display.screen]  [-window]  [-root]  [-install]
10       [-visual visual] [-delay microseconds] [-wireframe] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

13       The queens program solves the n-queens problem (where, in this program,
14       N  is  between  5  and  10 queens) using a straightforward backtracking
15       algorithm.  The problem is: how may one place N queens on an NxN chess‐
16       board such that no queen can attack a sister?
17

BUGS

45       It's not unknown for this and other OpenGL hacks to fail under hardware
46       accelaration (UtahGLX) and take the X server with them.  Texture images
47       must be 16x16 or 32x32 or 64x64 etc.
