DESCRIPTION
       This program animates a puzzle known as Cube 21 or Square-1.  Its moves
       are chosen randomly.

       Cube 21 is a Rubik-like puzzle invented in 1992.	 Its specialities  are
       that it can change its shape and	even the number	of possible moves.  It
       can have	more than 200 different	shapes and the total number of config-
       urations	(assuming colors) is several tens of billions.

OPTIONS
       cube21 accepts the following options:

       --window
	       Draw on a newly-created window.	This is	the default.

       --root  Draw on the root	window.

       --window-id number
	       Draw on the specified 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.

       --mono  Disable both texture maps and colors.

       --wireframe
	       Only draw outlines.  Outlines of	all pieces, not	only the whole
	       object, are drawn.

       --spin  Spin the	whole object around X, Y and Z axes.  This is the  de-
	       fault.

       --no-spin
	       Do not spin, showing the	same three faces 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
	       1.0.

       --wait number
	       How long	to stay	at ending position after each move.  The mean-
	       ing 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
	       (its height).  Default is 0.7.

       --colormode argument
	       How many	and which colors should	the object have.   The	colors
	       are put on the piece faces so that the puzzle is	solvable.  The
	       inner faces are not influenced.

	       se or silver
		       Simulate	 the  "Silver  Edition"	- white	and one	random
		       color.

	       2 or two
		       Two random colors.

	       ce or classic
		       Simulate	the "Classic Edition" -	white, yellow, orange,
		       red, green and blue.

	       6 or six
		       Six random colors.

	       1 or random or rnd
		       One random color.

	       Anything	else
		       All faces white.

       --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.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
	       The window ID to	use with --root.
