The fuzzyflakes program draws falling pastel colored
snowflake/flower shapes. Inspired by the credits of the anime "Azumanga
Daioh".
fuzzyflakes accepts the following options:
- --window
- Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

- Draw on the specified window.
- --mono
- If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.

or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
- --delay
usecs

250000.
- --speed
int
- How fast, 1-50. Default 10.
- --arms
int
- How many arms on the flakes; default 5.
- --thickness
int
- How thick to make the lines; default 10 pixels.
- --bthickness
int
- How thick to make the borders; default 3 pixels.
- --radius
int
- Radius of the objects; default 20 pixels.
- --layers
int
- How many layers of objects; default 3.
