SYNOPSIS

pulsar [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-no-light] [-wire] [-delay number] [-quads number] [-image file] [-light] [-fog] [-texture] [-mipmap] [-no-blend] [-antialias] [-texture_quality] [-do_depth] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

Draws some intersecting planes, making use of alpha blending, fog, textures, and mipmaps, plus a ``frames per second'' meter so that you can tell how fast your graphics card is... Requires OpenGL.
