NAME
xballs - Bouncing balls for an X windows background.
SYNOPSIS
xballs [-d] [-n] [r-] [-c] [-t]
DESCRIPTION
The balls interact with the mouse pointer, but not with each other
(I'm sure there is a simple method for this using matrices but I
havn't been able to find it)
The more balls you have, the more cpu power used. (I would suggest a
maximum of about 6 for a Sun 3 and 12 for a Sun 4)
Known not work to with tvtwm, may not work with other virtual desktop
systems. Works with twm and olwm.
Can take a lot of cpu and X bandwidth.
Options are:
-d hostname display on hostname
-n number number of balls (6 by default)
-r radius radius of balls
-c coeff coefficient of restitution (sp?)
-t percent percentage of balls generated at the to of the
screen
