xballs(25/1/96) xballs(25/1/96) 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 AUTHOR Bernard Hatt bmh@terminus.ericsson.se - 1 - Formatted: April 27, 2024
