NAME
       glsnake - OpenGL enhanced Rubik's 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.
