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 sec-
	       onds.).

       --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
	       effect 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
	       resources stored	in the RESOURCE_MANAGER	property.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
	       The window ID to	use with --root.
