💨 hufo_smoke — it's giving SMOKE 💨

okay bestie, buckle up, because we're about to talk about hufo_smoke, a particle smoke effect that lives in the OGLC Screensaver family (yes, that's the manual it's filed under, she's got her own little corner of the General Commands Manual 🌸).

✨ NAME ✨

hufo_smoke — a particle smoke effect. literally just vibes and tiny particles, no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

hufo_smoke [--root/-r] [--maxfps/-x number] [--vsync/-y number]
[--dpms/-M number] [--foreground/-f number] [--background/-b number]

that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so, direct from Jeremie Allard himself (http://hufo.planet-d.net/codefr_us.php), and I'm quoting him here:

"This little smoke effect is coded with a little particle system done for 'The OpenGL Challenge'."

she's a little particle system, she's an OpenGL Challenge alum, she's iconic 👑

and then she got ported to Linux by Tugrul Galatali — thank you king, we owe you everything 🫶

💖 OPTIONS 💖

every single flag, accounted for, no skips, we don't do that here:

  • --root, -r — draw on the root window. that's it, she's painting straight onto the desktop itself 💅
  • --maxfps number, -x number — set the maximum frame rate. cap the fps, cap the chaos.
  • --vsync number, -y number — limit redraws to the specified number of vertical refreshes. range is 0 - 100. default: 1. the range is real, don't try anything funny.
  • --dpms number, -M number — stop rendering new frames if the display is not on. range is 0 - 1. default: 1. she knows when you've walked away and she respects it 🙈
  • --foreground number, -f number — set the primary (dense smoke) color, using hex color codes. default: ffffff. yes, hex. you know the format, bestie.
  • --background number, -b number — set the secondary (light smoke) color, using hex color codes. default: ffffff. the soft one, the wispy one, the main character's best friend 🌈
ngl, both defaults being ffffff means she starts out fully white-on-white. that's not a bug, that's just how she ships. set your colors, be free ✨

🌸 ENVIRONMENT 🌸

  • DISPLAY — used to get the default host and display number. if this isn't set, she literally cannot find you. it's giving long distance 😭

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

  • X(1),

(iykyk — go read it, it's the whole foundation she's standing on)
