like, copy that exact line, don't be creative with it, i'm begging 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what it does is: repeatedly attempts to completely fill a rectangle with irregularly-shaped puzzle pieces. repeatedly. attempts. no cap — it's out here trying again and again to make the pieces fit perfectly, and honestly? relatable. main character energy fr fr 🔥

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --visual visual — picks which visual to use. legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual. decimal or hex, she contains multitudes 💜
• --window — draw on a newly-created window. this is the default, so if you do nothing, congrats, you already did it ✨
• --root — draw on the root window. going straight to the background, iconic 👑
• --window-id number — draw on the specified window. you pick the window, it draws there. respectful. we stan a boundary-having program 💅
• --identical | --no-identical — whether to use identical pieces. same pieces or different pieces, your call bestie 🎀
• --cycles number — duration. 500 - 5000. default: 2000. keep it in that range, she's not flexible about it 😭
• --delay number — per-frame delay, in microseconds. default: 10000 (that's 0.01 seconds.). microseconds!! tiny!! 🦋
• --ncolors number — number of colors. default: 64. sixty-four whole colors, we're rich 🌈
• --fps — display the current frame rate and CPU load. the little numbers, the little stats, the little validation 📊✨

🌼 ENVIRONMENT 🌼

• DISPLAY — to get the default host and display number. it's how she knows where to show up 🫶
• XENVIRONMENT — to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. yes that's the whole sentence, yes it's a lot, yes i said it correctly 💀
• XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW — the window ID to use with --root. that's the pairing, don't forget it 🧚
