NAME
glsnake - OpenGL enhanced Rubik's Snake cyclewaster.
SYNOPSIS
glsnake [-display host:display.screen] [-window] [-root] [-visual visual] [-delay microseconds] [-fps] [-wireframe] [-scarycolour] [-veloc-
ity angular] [-explode distance] [-statictime milliseconds] [-yspin angle] [-zspin 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 a running tally of how many frames per second are being rendered. In conjunction with -delay 0, this can be a useful
benchmark of your GL performance.
-wireframe
Display the snake in wireframe mode, rather than the default solid mode.
-scarycolour
Use the alternate colour scheme for the snake. Shape identification using colour will be disabled.
-velocity 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.
-yspin angle
Change the angle of rotation around the Y axis per frame.
-zspin 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.
