Ever feel like a fireworks salesman?
Helping some makes me feel like a fireworks salesman. They have so much power and so little education.
"Light fuse on end and drop cracker and run away fast."
"How fast?"
"Real fast the first time, and then you will know how fast. Oh, do not drop cracker into the bag of fireworks, a can of gas or onto a propane tank!"

XFLIP(6) Games Manual XFLIP(6)
NAME
xflip, meltdown - astonish your friends with interesting X effects
SYNOPSIS
xflip [-planes] [-vert] [-oblic] [-fast | -random] [-times number] [-display displayname]
meltdown [-planes] [-display displayname] [-delay x] [-wait n | -wait 0]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the xflip, and meltdown commands. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
(but may be used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.
The programs play with the X display, producing some interesting effects. One traditional use of these commands is to have them run and
affect someone else's X display, as a practical joke.
OPTIONS
-display displayname
The X display to operate on.
-planes
Operate on a singleplane at a time.
-vert Flip the screen vertically.
-oblic Flip the screen vertically and horizontally at the same time.
-random
Flip small random peices of the screen instead of the while display.
-times number
Specifies the number of peices of the screen to flip when -random is used. Default is 300.
-delay x
Meltdown may run too fast on fast computers to be fully appreciated; this can be used to slow it down. If specified, every x times
the display is updated, a 1 microsecond delay will be inserted. The default is no delay at all. Reasonable values for x are in the
20 to 200 range.
-wait n
Makes meltdown wait for n seconds after the screen is totally black. If you pass 0 to -wait, it will wait until you press a key or
mouse button.
