Flipflop draws a grid of 3D colored tiles that change positions
with each other.
- -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.
- -count
number
- Number of tiles on the board. A value of "0" means
"default". The default number of tiles depends on the size of
the board and the mode: 95% of total tiles for "tiles" mode and
80% of total sticks for "sticks" mode (e.g. 76 tiles or 64
sticks for a 9x9 board).
- -free
number
- Number of tiles missing from the board. See -count.
- -size
number
- Number of tiles on each side of the board. Takes precedence over -size-x
and -size-y. Default: 9.
- -size-x
number
- Width (in tiles) of the board. Default: 9.
- -size-y
number
- Length (in tiles) of the board. Default: 9.
- -spin
number
- Angular velocity for the rotation of the board.
- -mode sticks
- Draw hopping sticks instead of flipping tiles.
- -mode
tiles
- Draw flipping tiles. This is the default.
- -delay
number
- Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 20000 (0.02 seconds.).
- -fps | -no-fps
- Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
- -wireframe
- Only draw outlines.
- -texture |
-no-texture
- Whether to texture the tiles with a screen grab or an image.
- 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.
