💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so straight from the source, from Terry Walsh (<http://reallyslick.com>) himself — and I am quoting him here, no notes:

"This is a real number cruncher of a screensaver. Computers are getting much more powerful these days, and my old savers don't bring them to their knees like they used to. This one does. Of course, you can still turn the settings way down if you have a pathetic, old computer."

not him calling your laptop pathetic 😭 but fr fr, this thing EATS cycles and it's not sorry. and if your machine is old and struggling? just turn the settings way down, it's giving humble and adaptable 💅

and it got ported to Linux by Tugrul Galatali, king behavior 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --root — draw straight onto the root window. no window, just vibes on the desktop 💜
• --maxfps number — caps your maximum frame rate. your fps, your rules ✨
• --vsync number — limit redraws to a specified number of vertical refreshes. range is 0 - 100. default: 1 🦋
• --dpms number — stops rendering new frames if the display isn't on. range is 0 - 1. default: 1. she knows when you've wandered off, and she respects it 🙈
• --speed number — speed of the fly through. range is 1 - 100. default: 10. crank it if you want that main character zoom 🚀
• --stars number — number of stars. range is 0 - 10000. default: 1000 ⭐
• --starsize number — size of stars. range is 1 - 100. default: 10 ✨
• --resolution number — resolution of the goo. range is 4 - 20. default: 10. yes the original really says "goo" and we are keeping it, it's iconic 🍓
• --depth number — depth of the scene. range is 1 - 10. default: 5 🌸
• --fov number — field of view. range is 10 - 150. default: 10 👀
• --no-shader — disables use of vertex/fragment shaders, in case they do not work as expected. lowkey the rescue flag for when the pretty graphics start acting up 💀
