cloudlife(6) XScreenSaver manual cloudlife(6) NAME cloudlife - a cellular automaton based on Conway's Life SYNOPSIS cloudlife [--display host:display.screen] [--foreground color] [--back- ground color] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number][--mono] [--install] [--visual visual] [--ncolors integer] [--cycle-delay microseconds] [--cy- cle-colors integer][--cell-size integer] [--initial-density integer] [--max-age integer] [--fps] DESCRIPTION The cloudlife program draws a cellular automaton based on Conway's Life, except that cells have a maximum age, and only one pixel per cell is drawn every tick. OPTIONS cloudlife 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. --mono If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display. --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. --cycle-delay integer Time in microseconds to sleep between ticks. Default 25000. --cycle-colors integer How many ticks should elapse between cycling colors. 0 to disable color cycling. Default 2. --ncolors integer How many colors should be used (if possible). Default 64. The colors are chosen randomly. --cell-size integer Size of each cell, in powers of 2. Default 3 (8-pixel cells). --initial-density integer Percentage of cells that are alive at start and when the field is repopulated. Default 30. --max-age integer Maximum age for a cell. Default 64. --fps Display the current frame rate and CPU load. 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.
