Name
glsnake - OpenGL enhanced Rubik's Snake cyclewaster.
Synopsis
glsnake [-display host:display.screen] [-window] [-root] [-visual visual] [-delay microseconds] [-fps] [-wireframe] [-altcolour] [-angvel angular] [-explode distance] [-statictime milliseconds] [-yangvel angle] [-zangvel angle]
Description
glsnake is an imitation of Rubiks' Snake, using OpenGL.
Options
glsnake 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.
- -fps
Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
- -wireframe
- Display the snake in wireframe mode, rather than the default solid mode.
- -altcolour
- Use the alternate colour scheme for the snake. Shape identification using colour will be disabled.
- -angvel angular
- Change the speed at which the snake morphs to a new shape.
- -explode distance
- Change the distance between the nodes of a snake.
- -statictime milliseconds
- Change the time between morphs.
- -yangvel angle
- Change the angle of rotation around the Y axis per frame.
- -zangvel angle
- Change the angle of rotation around the Z axis per frame.
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.
Files
/usr/share/glsnake/*.glsnake
- This XScreenSaver will attempt to read model files installed with the interactive glsnake.

Bugs
The snake will happily intersect itself while morphing (this is not a bug).
The rotation/camera position sucks.
