NAME

       flurry - a colorful particle system

SYNOPSIS

       flurry [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-preset <arg>] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

       This is a port of the OSX screensaver flurry.

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.

       -preset <arg>
	       Select a preset (classic, fire, water, psychedelic, rgb, binary, random, insane)

	       (Insane will never be selected at random, because it requires lots of CPU/GPU power)

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

       ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
