Overview
Draws a wobbling blob, making use of alpha blending, fog, textures, and lighting, plus a ``frames per second'' meter so that you can tell how fast your graphics card is... Requires OpenGL.
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.
--wireRender in wireframe instead of solid.
-
--delay number -
Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 10000 (0.01 seconds.).
-
--fog | --no-fog -
Whether to enable fog.
-
--walls | --no-walls -
Add walls for blob to hit.
-
--colour | --no-colour -
Draw coloured blob. If also textured, the texture will have color mixed in.
-
--texture | --no-texture -
Whether to wrap a texture image on the blob.
-
--offset_texture | --no-offset_texture -
Whether to ofset the texture calculations to only use a region of the image
under the blob. This works well with a semi-transparent blob.
-
--blend | --no-blend -
Whether to draw a transparent blob. (see also offset_texture above)
-
--antialias | --no-antialias -
Whether to antialias lines.
-
--resolution number -
Resolution of the tessellation used to calculate and draw the blob. Larger
numbers give a smoother blob but increase calculation times exponentially.
-
--bumps number -
Number of bumps used to distort the blob.
-
--hold-time number -
Time until loading a new image.
-
--fade-time number -
Time taken to transition between images.
-
--zoom number -
Size multiplier for blob.
-
--fps -
Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
Environment
-
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.
