DESCRIPTION

17       Creates a world of falling blocks that build up and up.
18

OPTIONS

20       -visual visual
21               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
22               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
23               visual.
24
25       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
26
27       -root   Draw on the root window.
28
29       -delay number
30               Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default:  10000  (0.01  sec‐
31               onds.).
32
33       -wireframe | -no-wireframe
34               Render in wireframe instead of solid.
35
36       -fps    Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
37
38       -size number
39               Size of the base/carpet.
40
41       -spawn number
42               Likeyhood of a new block being created per frame : 1 high, 1000
43               very low.
44
45       -camX number
46               Initial camera X location in the world.
47
48       -camY number
49               Initial camera Y location in the world.
50
51       -camZ number
52               Initial camera Z location in the world.
53
54       -rotate | -no-rotate
55               Add/Remove rotation to/from the animation.
56
57       -no-carpet
58               Remove the base/carpet.
59
60       -no-nipples
61               Remove nipples on the blocks (also applies to udders)  (has  no
62               effect in blob mode).
63
64       -blob   Run in blob mode, blocks become over sized spheres.
65
66       -rotateSpeed number
67               Varries speed of world rotation.
68
69       -follow Camera follows blocks as they fall instead of camera being semi
70               static (stays with top block).
71
72       -maxFalling number
73               Maximum number of objects created before recycling occurs.
74
75       -resolution number
76               Resolution of tubes, disks and spheres.
77
78       -maxColors number
79               Number of different colors available to falling objects.
80
81       -dropSpeed number
82               Varries speed of falling objects.
83
84       -override
85               Overrides camera settings and provides a tunnel view.
86
