DESCRIPTION
The fuzzyflakes program draws falling pastel colored snowflake/flower shapes. Inspired by the credits of the anime "Azumanga Daioh".

OPTIONS
fuzzyflakes accepts the following options:

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

-root
    Draw on the root 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.

-delay usecs
    The delay between steps of the animation, in microseconds. Default: 250000.

-speed int
    How fast, 1-50. Default 10.

-arms int
    How many arms on the flakes; default 5.

    How many layers of objects; default 3.

-color string
    The base color for the color scheme. Typed as a hexadecimal triplet with or with out the leading #. ie. fa4563 & #43cd12 are both acceptable. If the saturation of you color is too low (<0.03) the random color generator will kick in. The default color is #efbea5
