OpenGL enhanced Rubik's Snake cyclewaster.
Synopsis
glsnake [--display host:display.screen] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--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.
- --window-id number
Draw on the specified 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.
- XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
The window ID to use with --root.

Bugs
The snake will happily intersect itself while morphing (this is not a bug).
The rotation/camera position sucks.
