DESCRIPTION

       This program animates a puzzle known as Cube 21 or Square-1.  Its moves are chosen randomly.

       Cube 21 is a Rubik-like puzzle invented in 1992.  Its specialities are that it can change its  shape  and
       even  the  number  of possible moves.  It can have more than 200 different shapes and the total number of
       configurations (assuming colors) is several tens of billions.

OPTIONS

       cube21 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.

       -delay microseconds
               How long to pause between frames.  Default is 20000, or 0.02 second.

       -texture
               Use texture maps.  This is the default.

       -no-texture
               Use solid colors.

       -mono   Disable both texture maps and colors.

       -wireframe
               Only draw outlines.  Outlines of all pieces, not only the whole object, are drawn.

       -spin   Spin the whole object around X, Y and Z axes.  This is the default.

       -no-spin
               Do not spin, showing the same three faces all the time.

       -wander Move the object around the screen.  This is the default.

       -no-wander
               Keep the object centered on the screen.

       -randomize
               Shuffle the puzzle randomly at startup.  This is the default.

       -no-randomize
               Do not shuffle at startup, begin at the shape of cube.

       -spinspeed number
               The relative speed of spinning.  Default is 1.0.

       -rotspeed number
               The  relative speed of the moves.  Default is 3.0.  Setting to ≤ 0.0 makes the object stay at one
               configuration.

       -wanderspeed number
               The relative speed of wandering around the screen.  Default is 1.0.

       -wait number
               How long to stay at ending position after each move.   The  meaning  of  the  argument  is  again
               relative.  Default is 40.0.

       -cubesize number
               Size of the object.  Value of 3.0 fills roughly all the screen (its height).  Default is 0.7.

       -colormode argument
               How  many and which colors should the object have.  The colors are put on the piece faces so that
               the puzzle is solvable.  The inner faces are not influenced.

               se or silver
                       Simulate the "Silver Edition" - white and one random color.

               2 or two
                       Two random colors.

               ce or classic
                       Simulate the "Classic Edition" - white, yellow, orange, red, green and blue.

               6 or six
                       Six random colors.

               1 or random or rnd
                       One random color.

               Anything else
                       All faces white.

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

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.
