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

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

-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.)

-wireframe
    Render in wireframe instead of solid.

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.
