flipflop [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--count number | --free number] [--size number] [--size-x number] [--size-y number] [--spin number] [--mode sticks | tiles] [--delay number] [--wireframe] [--fps] [--texture]

Flipflop draws a grid of 3D colored tiles that change positions with  each other.

--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.

--window-id number

Draw on the specified window.

--count number

Number of tiles on the board. A value of "0" means "default". The default number of tiles depends on the size of the board and the mode: 95% of total tiles for "tiles" mode and 80% of total sticks for "sticks" mode (e.g. 76 tiles or 64 sticks for a 9x9 board).

--free number

Number of tiles missing from the board. See -count.

--size number

Number of tiles on each side of the board. Takes precedence over -size-x and -size-y. Default: 9.

--size-x number

Width (in tiles) of the board. Default: 9.

--size-y number

Length (in tiles) of the board. Default: 9.

--spin number

Angular velocity for the rotation of the board.

--mode sticks

Draw hopping sticks instead of flipping tiles.

--mode tiles

Draw flipping tiles. This is the default.

--delay number

Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default: 20000 (0.02 seconds.).

--fps | --no-fps

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

--wireframe

Only draw outlines.

--texture | --no-texture

Whether to texture the tiles with a screen grab or an image.

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.

XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW

The window ID to use with --root.
