DESCRIPTION

       Wiggly squid or jellyfish with many tentacles.   A  muscular  hydrostat  is  a  biological
       structure  used to move its host about, consisting of muscles with no skeletal support. It
       performs its hydraulic  movement  without  fluid  in  a  separate  compartment,  as  in  a
       hydrostatic skeleton.

OPTIONS

       -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.

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

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -delay number
               Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default: 20000 (0.02 seconds).

       -speed number
               Animation speed.  2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast.

       -count number
               Number of squid.  1 - 100.  Default: 10.

       -head-radius number
               Head size.  10 - 100.  Default: 60.

       -tentacles number
               Number of tentacles.  3 - 100.  Default: 40.

       -thickness number
               Thickness of tentacles.  3 - 40.  Default: 18.

       -length number
               Length of tentacles.  10 - 150.  Default: 70.

       -gravity number
               Strength of gravity.  0 - 10.0.  Default: 0.5.

       -current number
               Strength of current.  0.0 - 10.0.  Default: 0.25.

       -friction number
               Coefficient of friction.  0.0 - 0.1.  Default: 0.02.

       -pulse | -no-pulse
               Whether the squid should pulse. Default true.

       -wireframe | -no-wireframe
               Render in wireframe instead of solid.

       -fps | -no-fps
               Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen.

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.
