DESCRIPTION
glsnake is an imitation of Rubiks´ Snake, using OpenGL.
OPTIONS
glsnake accepts the following options:
-window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
-root Draw on the root window.
-install

solid mode.
-altcolour
Use the alternate colour scheme for the snake. Shape identifi-
cation using colour will be disabled.
-angvel angular
Change the speed at which the snake morphs to a new shape.
-explode distance
Change the distance between the nodes of a snake.
-statictime milliseconds
Change the time between morphs.
-yangvel angle
Change the angle of rotation around the Y axis per frame.
-zangvel angle
Change the angle of rotation around the Z axis per frame.
ENVIRONMENT
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.
FILES

with the interactive glsnake.

BUGS
The snake will happily intersect itself while morphing (this is not a
bug).
The rotation/camera position sucks.
