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 | -no-fps
37               Whether  to  show  a frames-per-second display at the bottom of
38               the screen.
39
40       -size number
41               Size of the base/carpet.
42
43       -spawn number
44               Likeyhood of a new block being created per frame : 1 high, 1000
45               very low.
46
47       -camX number
48               Initial camera X location in the world.
49
50       -camY number
51               Initial camera Y location in the world.
52
53       -camZ number
54               Initial camera Z location in the world.
55
56       -rotate | -no-rotate
57               Add/Remove rotation to/from the animation.
58
59       -no-carpet
60               Remove the base/carpet.
61
62       -no-nipples
63               Remove  nipples  on the blocks (also applies to udders) (has no
64               effect in blob mode).
65
66       -blob   Run in blob mode, blocks become over sized spheres.
67
68       -rotateSpeed number
69               Varries speed of world rotation.
70
71       -follow Camera follows blocks as they fall instead of camera being semi
72               static (stays with top block).
73
74       -maxFalling number
75               Maximum number of objects created before recycling occurs.
76
77       -resolution number
78               Resolution of tubes, disks and spheres.
79
80       -maxColors number
81               Number of different colors available to falling objects.
82
83       -dropSpeed number
84               Varries speed of falling objects.
85
86       -override
87               Overrides camera settings and provides a tunnel view.
