queens(6)		      XScreenSaver manual		     queens(6)

NAME
       queens -	n queens screensaver

SYNOPSIS
       queens [--display host:display.screen] [--window] [--root] [--window-id
       number]	[--install]  [--visual visual] [--delay	microseconds] [--wire-
       frame] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
       The queens program solves the n-queens problem (where, in this program,
       N is between 5 and 10 queens) using a straightforward backtracking  al-
       gorithm.	  The  problem is: how may one place N queens on an NxN	chess-
       board such that no queen	can attack a sister?

OPTIONS
       queens 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.

       --wireframe
	       Render in wireframe instead of solid.  --fps Display  the  cur-
	       rent 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.

BUGS
       It's not	unknown	for this and other OpenGL hacks	to fail	under hardware
       accelaration (UtahGLX) and take the X server with them.	Texture	images
       must be 16x16 or	32x32 or 64x64 etc.
