Overview

Draws a series of rotating 3D boxes that intersect each other and eventually fill space.

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.

--window-id number

Draw on the specified window.

--delay number

Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 30000 (0.03 seconds.).

--speed number

Larger numbers mean run faster. Default: 1.0.

--count number

Number of cubes. Default 4.

--thickness float

How thick the struts making up the cubes should be (0.0-1.0). Default 0.06.

--wander | --no-wander

Whether the cubes should wander around the screen.

--spin | --no-spin

Whether the cubes should spin.

--wireframe | --no-wireframe

Render in wireframe instead of solid.

--fps

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