Usage

topblock [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--delay number] [--wireframe] [--fps] [--size number] [--spawn number] [--camX number] [--camY number] [--camZ number] [--rotate] [--no-carpet] [--no-nipples] [--blob] [--rotateSpeed number] [--follow] [--maxFalling number] [--resolution number] [--maxColors number] [--dropSpeed number] [--override]

Overview

Creates a world of falling blocks that build up and up.

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: 10000 (0.01 seconds.).

--wireframe | --no-wireframe: Render in wireframe instead of solid.

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

--size number: Size of the base/carpet.

--spawn number: Likeyhood of a new block being created per frame : 1 high, 1000 very low.

--camX number: Initial camera X location in the world.

--camY number: Initial camera Y location in the world.

--camZ number: Initial camera Z location in the world.

--rotate | -no-rotate: Add/Remove rotation to/from the animation.

--no-carpet: Remove the base/carpet.

--no-nipples: Remove nipples on the blocks (also applies to udders) (has no effect in blob mode).

--blob: Run in blob mode, blocks become over sized spheres.

--rotateSpeed number: Varries speed of world rotation.

--follow: Camera follows blocks as they fall instead of camera being semi static (stays with top block).

--maxFalling number: Maximum number of objects created before recycling occurs.

--resolution number: Resolution of tubes, disks and spheres.

--maxColors number: Number of different colors available to falling objects.

--dropSpeed number: Varries speed of falling objects.

--override: Overrides camera settings and provides a tunnel view.

`x`	Decreases viewing Y coordinate.
`d`	Increases viewing Z coordinate.
`c`	Decreases viewing Z coordinate.
`f`	Increases camera location X coordinate.
`v`	Decreases camera location X coordinate.
`g`	Increases camera location Y coordinate.
`b`	Decreases camera location Y coordinate.
`h`	Increases camera location Z coordinate.
`n`	Decreases camera location Z coordinate.
`r`	Increases world rotation.
`q`	quit.

Examples

To see which block follow-mode is tracking, set the number of block colors to 1.

topblock -follow -maxColors 1

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.
