XFLIP(6) Games Manual XFLIP(6)NAME
xflip, meltdown - astonish your friends with interesting X effects
SYNOPSIS
xflip [-planes] [-vert] [-oblic] [-fast | -random] [-times number] [-display displayname]
meltdown [-planes] [-display displayname] [-delay x] [-wait n | -wait 0]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the xflip, and meltdown commands. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
(but may be used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.
The programs play with the X display, producing some interesting effects. One traditional use of these commands is to have them run and
affect someone else's X display, as a practical joke.
OPTIONS -display displayname
The X display to operate on.
-planes
Operate on a singleplane at a time.
-vert Flip the screen vertically.
-oblic Flip the screen vertically and horizontally at the same time.
-random
Flip small random peices of the screen instead of the while display.
-times number
Specifies the number of peices of the screen to flip when -random is used. Default is 300.
-delay x
Meltdown may run too fast on fast computers to be fully appreciated; this can be used to slow it down. If specified, every x times
the display is updated, a 1 microsecond delay will be inserted. The default is no delay at all. Reasonable values for x are in the
20 to 200 range.
-wait n
Makes meltdown wait for n seconds after the screen is totally black. If you pass 0 to -wait, it will wait until you press a key or
mouse button.

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

get the idea.
OPTIONS -d, -display name
The (X window) display on which you want to play the game.
-w, -wait number
Set the speed of the game. A higher number means the game runs slower. If you use this option the ranking mode is turned off.
-c, -cmap
Do nothing (only for backward compatibility).
-s, -score
Show the TOP10 soldiers, i.e. the highscore.
-h, -help
Show a short help text and exit.
-maxlevel
Force max level enemy attack, making your life really harder.
-nopausemessage
Don't show "Press [p] to resume game." message when the game is paused. Useful for capturing a screen snapshot.
