NAME

       amoeba - Fast-paced, polished OpenGL demonstration by Excess

SYNOPSIS

       amoeba [options]

DESCRIPTION

       amoeba is a fast-paced, cross-platform OpenGL demonstration by Excess, showing effects using your 3D card
       in perfect sync with Ogg Vorbis music. It features a full XML-scripted GPLed demo engine, several  object
       manipulations, lots of graphics and a pumping soundtrack by Satcom101.

       Amoeba  won  first price in the demo competition at Underscore 02, a sceneparty held in Jönköping, Sweden
       (http://www.underscore.sh/)

OPTIONS

       If you start amoeba without any command line options, it will try to launch  a  GTK+-based  configuration
       interface,  if GTK+ is installed on your system. If not, it will start using default parameters (640x480,
       32bpp, fullscreen with sound).

       All options start with a single dash (`-'). A summary of  options  are  included  below.   Note  that  if
       conflicting options are specified, the last one will take precedence.

       -fullscreen
              Run in full screen (default).

       -windowed
              Run in a window. Note that resizing the problem may cause problems, and is not fully supported.

       -640x480, -800x600, -1024x768, -1280x960, -1280x1024, -1400x1050, -1600x1200
              Run  in  the  specified  resolution (if using full-screen mode), or open a window of the specified
              size (if using windowed mode). The default is 640x480.

       -16, -32
              Run in the specified bit depth. 32bpp looks better and is usually faster on modern cards, but  not
              all  cards  can handle 16bpp. Note that 16bpp may cause problems on many cards that do not support
              stencil visuals with 16bpp. The default is 32bpp.

       -z16, -z24, -z32
              Run with a Z-buffer of the specified bit depth. Higher bit  depths  usually  results  in  slightly
              better  quality,  but many cards only support 16bpp, and there might be a performance penalty. The
              default is 16bpp.

       -nosound
              Do not play sound. The default is to play sound, unless no sound card can be detected.
