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.
