💅 glhanoi 💅

okay so bestie, buckle up, this is glhanoi from the XScreenSaver manual (section 6x), and it's literally the Towers of Hanoi puzzle but rendered in OpenGL ✨ iconic behavior honestly

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

glhanoi [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window]
[--root] [--window-id number] [--delay number] [--count number] [--poles
number] [--speed number] [--wireframe] [--light] [--texture] [--fog]
[--fps]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

It's the Towers of Hanoi bestie… implemented in OpenGL 🦋 that's the whole vibe. Classic puzzle, glowier graphics, no cap.

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • --visual visual — pick which visual you wanna use, queen. Legal values are either the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of one specific visual. 💅
  • --window — draw on a brand-new window that just got created. This is the default, so it's giving main character energy by default. 👑
  • --root — draw on the root window instead. humble. grounded.
  • --window-id number — draw on the specific window you name. exactly that one. no others. 🎯
  • --delay number — per-frame delay, measured in microseconds. Default is 30000 (which is 0.03 seconds, if you're not a microseconds girlie).
  • --count number — how many disks you want. Default: 7.
  • --poles number — how many poles you want. Default: random from 3 to disks+1 🎲 (surprise mechanics, we love her).
  • --speed number — speed multiplier (and this is specifically for the smallest disks, iykyk). Default: 1.
  • --trails number — length of the disk trails, in seconds. Default: 2. it's giving comet tail, it's giving ✨aesthetic✨
  • --wireframe / --no-wireframe — render in wireframe instead of solid. skeleton mode 🦴
  • --fog / --no-fog — render in fog. mysterious. moody. lowkey spooky 🌫️
  • --fps — show the current frame rate, the CPU load, and the polygon count. stats girlies rise 🙌
  • --light / -no-light — whether the scene is lit. (yes bestie, that second one is written with a single dash, that's just how it is, don't come for me 💀)
  • --texture / --no-texture — render with textures instead of solid. fabric era 🧵

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

  • DISPLAY — to get the default host and display number. the classic.
  • XENVIRONMENT — to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. very "I know a guy" of it.
  • XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW — the window ID to use with --root. 🫶
