DESCRIPTION
This program animates a puzzle called Rubik's Mirror Blocks.
The moves are chosen randomly.
OPTIONS
rubikblocks
accepts the following options:
- -window
-
Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
- -root
-
Draw on the root 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.
ENVIRONMENT
- 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.
