💥 crumbler — voronoi divisions of a sphere ✨

okay bestie, welcome to crumbler, a lil xscreen saver from the XScreenSaver manual (section 6x, iykyk). it takes a ball. it shatters it. then it shatters a piece of the shattering. it's giving chaos but make it aesthetic. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

crumbler [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window]
[--root] [--window-id number] [--delay number] [--speed number]
[--density number] [--fracture number] [--no-wander] [--no-spin]
[--wireframe] [--fps]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so what it literally does: it randomly subdivides a ball into voronoi chunks, and then — plot twist — it further subdivides one of the remaining pieces. that's it. that's the whole vibe. a sphere getting chopped into crunchy lil cells, forever, no cap. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --visual visual — pick which visual to use, bestie. legal values are either 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, so if you do nothing, this is what you get. main character energy. 🪟
  • --root — draw on the root window instead. going full desktop takeover. 🌈
  • --window-id number — draw on the specified window. yes, that specific one. 🎯
  • --delay number — per-frame delay, measured in microseconds. default: 30000 (which is 0.03 seconds, if you're not a microseconds girly). ⏱️
  • --speed number — animation speed. 2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast. go fast or go cozy. 💨
  • --density number — density of the polygons mesh. 2.0 means twice as dense, 0.5 means half. more mesh = more to obsess over. 🕸️
  • --fracture number — how many times to fracture each object. 0 means random. leave it up to the universe fr fr. 💥
  • --wander | --no-wander — whether the object should wander around the screen. little roaming baby. 🚶‍♀️
  • --spin | --no-spin — whether the object should spin. rotational slay. 🌀
  • --wireframe | --no-wireframe — render in wireframe instead of solid. skeleton mode vs. full-body mode. 🦴
  • --fps | --no-fps — whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen. numbers?? at the bottom of my screen?? iconic. 📊

🌿 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.
