This program animates a puzzle called Rubik's Mirror Blocks. The
moves are chosen randomly.
rubikblocks accepts the following options:
- --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.
- --install
- Install a private colormap for the window.
- --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.
- --delay
microseconds
- How long to pause between frames. Default is 20000, or 0.02 second.
- --texture
- Use texture maps. This is the default.
- --no-texture
- Use solid colors. Looks a bit weird.
- --mono
- Disable both texture maps and colors. Ditto.
- --wireframe
- Only draw outlines. Outlines of each piece, not only the whole object, are
drawn.
- --spin
- Spin the whole object around X, Y and Z axes. This is the default.
- --no-spin
- Do not spin, stay in the same tilt all the time.
- --wander
- Move the object around the screen. This is the default.
- --no-wander
- Keep the object centered on the screen.
- --randomize
- Shuffle the puzzle randomly at startup. This is the default.
- --no-randomize
- Do not shuffle at startup, begin at the shape of cube.
- --spinspeed
number
- The relative speed of spinning. Default is 1.0.
- --rotspeed
number
- The relative speed of the moves. Default is 3.0. Setting to ≤ 0.0
makes the object stay at one configuration.
- --wanderspeed
number
- The relative speed of wandering around the screen. Default is 0.02.
- --wait
number
- How long to stay at final position after each move. The meaning of the
argument is again relative. Default is 40.0.
- --cubesize
number
- Size of the object. Value of 3.0 fills roughly all the screen.
- --fps
- Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
- 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.
- XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
- The window ID to use with --root.
