OPTIONS
glsnake
accepts the following options:

- -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.

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