NAME
glsnake - OpenGL enhanced Rubik's Snake cyclewaster.

SYNOPSIS
glsnake [--display host:display.screen] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--visual visual] [--delay microseconds] [--fps] [--wireframe] [--altcolour] [--angvel angular] [--explode distance] [--statictime milliseconds] [--yangvel angle] [--zangvel angle]

DESCRIPTION

glsnake is an imitation of Rubiks' Snake, using OpenGL.

OPTIONS
glsnake accepts the following options:

--window
    Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

--root
    Draw on the root window.

--window-id number
    Draw on the specified window.

--install
    Install a private colormap for the window.

--visual visual
    Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.

--fps
    Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

--wireframe
    Display the snake in wireframe mode, rather than the default solid mode.

--altcolour
    Use the alternate colour scheme for the snake. Shape identification using colour will be disabled.

-angvel angular
    Change the speed at which the snake morphs to a new shape.

-explode distance
    Change the distance between the nodes of a snake.

--statictime milliseconds
    Change the time between morphs.

--yangvel angle
    Change the angle of rotation around the Y axis per frame.

--zangvel angle
    Change the angle of rotation around the Z axis per frame.

ENVIRONMENT

DISPLAY
    to get the default host and display number.

XENVIRONMENT
    to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
    The window ID to use with --root.

BUGS
The snake will happily intersect itself while morphing (this is not a bug).

The rotation/camera position sucks.
