DESCRIPTION

15       glsnake is an imitation of Rubiks´ Snake, using OpenGL.
16

OPTIONS

18       glsnake accepts the following options:
19
20       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
21
22       -root   Draw on the root window.
23
24       -install
25               Install a private colormap for the window.
26
27       -visual visual
28               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
29               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
30               visual.
31
32       -fps    Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
33
34       -wireframe
35               Display the snake in wireframe mode, rather  than  the  default
36               solid mode.
37
38       -altcolour
39               Use the alternate colour scheme for the snake.  Shape identifi‐
40               cation using colour will be disabled.
41
42       -angvel angular
43               Change the speed at which the snake morphs to a new shape.
44
45       -explode distance
46               Change the distance between the nodes of a snake.
47
48       -statictime milliseconds
49               Change the time between morphs.
50
51       -yangvel angle
52               Change the angle of rotation around the Y axis per frame.
53
54       -zangvel angle
55               Change the angle of rotation around the Z axis per frame.
56

ENVIRONMENT

58       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
59
60       XENVIRONMENT
61               to get the name of a resource file that  overrides  the  global
62               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

BUGS

69       The  snake  will happily intersect itself while morphing (this is not a
70       bug).
71
72       The rotation/camera position sucks.
