NAME
glsnake - OpenGL enhanced Rubiks Snake cyclewaster.
SYNOPSIS
glsnake [-display host:display.screen] [-window] [-root] [-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. |
-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. | |
FILES
/usr/share/glsnake/*.glsnake | |
This XScreenSaver will attempt to read model files installed with the interactive glsnake. | |

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