NAME
flyingtoasters - 3d space-age jet-powered flying toasters (and toast)

SYNOPSIS
flyingtoasters [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--delay number] [--speed number] [--ntoasters number] [--nslices number] [--no-texture] [--no-fog] [--wireframe] [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
Draws a squadron of shiny 3D space-age jet-powered flying toasters, and associated toast, flying across your screen.

OPTIONS

--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.

--window-id number
    Draw on the specified window.

--delay number
    Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 30000 (0.03 seconds.).

--speed number
    How fast the toasters fly. Larger for faster. Default: 1.0.

--ntoasters number
    How many toasters to draw. Default 20.

--nslices number
    How many slices of toast to draw. Default 25.

--no-texture
    Turn off texture mapping (for slow machines.)

--no-fog
    Turn off fog (do not fade out distant toasters.)

--wireframe
    Render in wireframe instead of solid.

--fps
    Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

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.

XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
    The window ID to use with --root.

The original After Dark flying toasters, with the fluffy white wings, were a trademark of Berkeley Systems. Berkeley Systems ceased to exist some time in 1998, having been gobbled up by Sierra Online, who were subsequently gobbled up by Flipside and/or Vivendi (it's hard to tell exactly what happened when.)

I doubt anyone even cares any more, but if they do, hopefully this homage, with the space-age 3D jet-plane toasters, will be considered different enough that whoever still owns the trademark to the fluffy-winged 2D bitmapped toasters won't get all huffy at us.
