DESCRIPTION
The fuzzyflakes program draws falling pastel colored snowflake/flower shapes. Inspired by the credits of the anime "Azumanga Daioh".

OPTIONS
fuzzyflakes accepts the following options:

    Draw on the root window.

-mono
    If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.

-install
    Install a private colormap for the window.

-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.

-delay usecs
    The delay between steps of the animation, in microseconds. Default: 250000.

-speed int
    How fast, 1-50. Default 10.

-arms int
