Down the speedmine, you'll find speed to satisfy your moving needs; So if you're looking for a blast then hit the speedmine, really fast. Speedworm loves you. Speedworm likes to bump and grind and chase her tail, and dance around she really is a funky friend; she's made of speed from end to end. You can configure stuff either with command-line options or X resources. OPTIONS --display host:display.screen Specifies which X display we should use (see the section DISPLAY NAMES in X(1) for more information about this option). --root Draw on the root window. --window-id number Draw on the specified window. --window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default. --install Install a private colormap for the window. --noinstall Don't 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. Possible choices include default, best, mono, monochrome, gray, grey, color, staticgray, staticcolor, truecolor, grayscale, greyscale, pseudocolor, direct- color, number If a decimal or hexadecimal number is used, XGetVisualInfo(3X) is consulted to obtain the required visual. --worm Be a happy spastic worm instead of a tunnel. --wire Specifies that the tunnel/worm should always be rendered in wire- frame style. --nowire Specifies that the tunnel/worm should be rendered normally. Note that tunnel rendering may still temporarily switch to wireframe style when a wireframe bonus is hit, if bonuses are enabled. --foreground color Specifies the default foreground color. --background color Specifies the default background color. --darkground color Specifies the color of the darkest portions of the ground (or the worm's belly.) The ground/belly is colored by a gradient between darkground and lightground. --lightground color Specifies the color of the lightest portions of the ground/belly. The ground/belly is colored by a gradient between darkground and lightground. --tunnelend color Specifies the color of the light at the end of the tunnel. --delay microseconds Specifies the delay between drawing successive frames. If you do not specify -sync, some X servers may batch up several drawing op- erations together, producing a less smooth effect. This is more likely to happen in monochrome mode (on monochrome servers or when --mono is specified). -maxspeed number Specifies an upper bound on the speed of normal movement. This does not affect the speed that may be attained when hitting a speed bonus. -thrust number Specifies the thrust constantly applied. Positive numbers indicate a forwards thrust, negative numbers indicate a backwards thrust. -gravity number Specifies the effect of gravity. Larger numbers will increase ac- celeration downhill and decrease acceleration uphill. -vertigo number Specifies to what level the demo should accentuate the curvature and windiness of the tunnel or worm. -terrain Continuously generate a fractal terrain to simulate the rockiness of the tunnel walls, or the texture of the worm's skin. -noterrain Do not generate terrain. When this option is set, all surfaces are flat. -smoothness number When -terrain is set, specifies how smooth the walls or skin are. -curviness number Controls how much the generated tunnel (or worm) should curve left and right, and dip up and down. -twistiness number Controls how much the generated tunnel (or worm) twists around it- self. -widening Specifies that the generated tunnel (or worm) may vary in width. -nowidening Specifies that the average width should be kept constant. -bumps Indicates that the simulation should take the bumpiness of the ground into account and allow the animation to shake and rattle when travelling over rough ground. Or that the worm should be al- lowed to bump around and shake her booty. -nobumps Indicates that the bumpiness of the ground should be ignored, such that the simulation will glide through the tunnel. Or that the worm should calm down and behave herself. -bonuses Indicates that the demo should include bonus events. These include speed bonuses, spins, and changes of viewpoint and rendering style. -nobonuses Indicates that bonuses should not be included in the demo. -crosshair Specifies that a gaming style crosshair be drawn on the simulation. This serves little purpose but may make hardcore gamers feel more comfortable. -nocrosshair Specifies that no crosshair be drawn. -psychedelic Specifies that a psychedelic colormap should be generated. When this is set, the walls and ground of the tunnel are drawn in an of- ten changing rainbow of colours. -nopsychedelic Specifies that a normal colormap should be used, with muted walls and a grey road. --fps Display the current frame rate and CPU load. WARNING Speedworm is a trained professional. Do not try this at home. Prolonged viewing of this demo with maxspeed and vertigo above the defaults may have short-term psychological side effects including hyperactivity and attention deficiency. 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. SEE ALSO X(1), xscreensaver(1) COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2001, Conrad Parker.
