NAME
       glsnake - 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.
