DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

18       glsnake accepts the following options:
19
20       --window
21               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.
22
23       --root  Draw on the root window.
24
25       --window-id number
26               Draw on the specified window.
27
28       --install
29               Install a private colormap for the window.
30
31       --visual visual
32               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the  name  of  a
33               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
34               visual.
35
36       --fps   Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
37
38       --wireframe
39               Display the snake in wireframe mode, rather  than  the  default
40               solid mode.
41
42       --altcolour
43               Use the alternate colour scheme for the snake.  Shape identifi‐
44               cation using colour will be disabled.
45
46       -angvel angular
47               Change the speed at which the snake morphs to a new shape.
48
49       -explode distance
50               Change the distance between the nodes of a snake.
51
52       --statictime milliseconds
53               Change the time between morphs.
54
55       --yangvel angle
56               Change the angle of rotation around the Y axis per frame.
57
58       --zangvel angle
59               Change the angle of rotation around the Z axis per frame.
60

ENVIRONMENT

62       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
63
64       XENVIRONMENT
65               to get the name of a resource file that  overrides  the  global
66               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
67
68       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
69               The window ID to use with --root.

BUGS

76       The  snake  will happily intersect itself while morphing (this is not a
77       bug).
78
79       The rotation/camera position sucks.
