Juggler3D - a 3D juggling simulation.

juggler3d [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-delay number] [-speed number] [-trans number] [-spin number] [-maxobjs number] [-minobjs number] [-maxhinc number] [-minhinc number] [-wireframe] [-fps]

Displays a 3D simulation of a juggler performing with balls, clubs and rings. Juggling patterns are either created randomly using siteswaps or from a small library of predefined patterns. juggler3d is partially based on the Win32 screensaver Juggle Saver (www.jugglesaver.co.uk) by the same author.

-visual visual

Specify which visual to use. Legal values are 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.

-root

Draw on the root window.

-delay number

Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 20000 (0.02 seconds.).

-speed number

Speed of objects being juggled in beats per seconds. Default: 2.2.

-trans number

Speed of horizontal juggler movement (translational) across the screen in degrees/seconds. Default: 0.1

-spin number

Speed of juggler rotation in degrees/seconds. Default: 20

-maxobj number

Maximum number of objects used in a random juggling pattern. 3 - 36.

-minobj number

Minimum number of objects used in a random juggling pattern. 3 - maxobj.

-minhinc number | -maxhinc number

Used to determine maximum throw weight in random siteswap. Options refer to minimum height increment and maximum height increment. Maximum weight chosen will lie between maxobj + minhinc and maxobj + maxhinc. Defaults: minhinc=1 and maxhinc=6.

-wireframe | -no-wireframe

Render in wireframe instead of solid.

-fps | -no-fps

Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen.

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.
