DESCRIPTION
Flipflop draws a grid of 3D colored tiles that change positions with
each other.
OPTIONS
- -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.
- -window
-
Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
- -root
-
Draw on the root window.
- -count number
-
Number of tiles on the board. A value of "0" means "default". The
default number of tiles depends on the size of the board and the mode:
95% of total tiles for "tiles" mode and 80% of total sticks for
"sticks" mode (e.g. 76 tiles or 64 sticks for a 9x9 board).
- -free number
-
Number of tiles missing from the board. See -count.
- -size number
-
Number of tiles on each side of the board. Takes precedence over
-size-x and -size-y. Default: 9.
- -size-x number
-
Width (in tiles) of the board. Default: 9.
- -size-y number
-
Length (in tiles) of the board. Default: 9.
- -spin number
-
Angular velocity for the rotation of the board.
- -mode sticks
-
Draw hopping sticks instead of flipping tiles.
- -mode tiles
-
Draw flipping tiles. This is the default.
- -delay number
-
Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 20000 (0.02 seconds.).
- -fps | -no-fps
-
Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
- -wireframe
-
Only draw outlines.
- -texture | -no-texture
-
Whether to texture the tiles with a screen grab or an image.
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.
