DESCRIPTION
This program animates a puzzle called Rubik's Mirror Blocks. The moves are chosen randomly.

OPTIONS
rubikblocks accepts the following options:

-window
    Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

-root
    Draw on the root 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.

-delay microseconds
    How long to pause between frames. Default is 20000, or 0.02 second.

-texture
    Use texture maps. This is the default.

-no-texture
    Use solid colors. Looks a bit weird.

-mono
    Disable both texture maps and colors. Ditto.

-wireframe
    Only draw outlines. Outlines of each piece, not only the whole object, are drawn.

-spin
    Spin the whole object around X, Y and Z axes. This is the default.

-no-spin
    Do not spin, stay in the same tilt all the time.

-wander
    Move the object around the screen. This is the default.

-no-wander
    Keep the object centered on the screen.

-randomize
    Shuffle the puzzle randomly at startup. This is the default.

-no-randomize
    Do not shuffle at startup, begin at the shape of cube.

-spinspeed number
    The relative speed of spinning. Default is 1.0.

-rotspeed number
    The relative speed of the moves. Default is 3.0. Setting to ≤ 0.0 makes the object stay at one configuration.

-wanderspeed number
    The relative speed of wandering around the screen. Default is 0.02.

-wait number
    How long to stay at final position after each move. The meaning of the argument is again relative. Default is 40.0.

-cubesize number
    Size of the object. Value of 3.0 fills roughly all the screen.

-fps
    Display the current 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.
