topblock(6) XScreenSaver manual topblock(6) NAME topblock - a 3D world of falling blocks that build up and up. SYNOPSIS topblock [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--delay number] [--wireframe] [--fps] [--size number] [--spawn number] [--camX number] [--camY number] [--camZ number] [--rotate] [--no-carpet] [--no-nipples] [--blob] [--rotateSpeed number] [--follow] [--maxFalling number] [--resolution number] [--maxColors number] [--dropSpeed number] [--override] DESCRIPTION Creates a world of falling blocks that build up and up. 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. --window-id number Draw on the specified window. --delay number Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 10000 (0.01 seconds.). --wireframe | --no-wireframe Render in wireframe instead of solid. --fps Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count. --size number Size of the base/carpet. --spawn number Likeyhood of a new block being created per frame : 1 high, 1000 very low. --camX number Initial camera X location in the world. --camY number Initial camera Y location in the world. --camZ number Initial camera Z location in the world. --rotate | -no-rotate Add/Remove rotation to/from the animation. --no-carpet Remove the base/carpet. --no-nipples Remove nipples on the blocks (also applies to udders) (has no ef- fect in blob mode). --blob Run in blob mode, blocks become over sized spheres. --rotateSpeed number Varries speed of world rotation. --follow Camera follows blocks as they fall instead of camera being semi static (stays with top block). --maxFalling number Maximum number of objects created before recycling occurs. --resolution number Resolution of tubes, disks and spheres. --maxColors number Number of different colors available to falling objects. --dropSpeed number Varries speed of falling objects. --override Overrides camera settings and provides a tunnel view. KEYS a Increases viewing X coordinate. z Decreases viewing X coordinate. s Increases viewing Y coordinate. x Decreases viewing Y coordinate. d Increases viewing Z coordinate. c Decreases viewing Z coordinate. f Increases camera location X coordinate. v Decreases camera location X coordinate. g Increases camera location Y coordinate. b Decreases camera location Y coordinate. h Increases camera location Z coordinate. n Decreases camera location Z coordinate. r Increases world rotation. q quit. EXAMPLES To see which block follow-mode is tracking, set the number of block colors to 1. topblock -follow -maxColors 1 ENVIRONMENT DISPLAY to get the default host and display number. XENVIRONMENT to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global re- sources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW The window ID to use with --root.
