NAME
       skytentacles - 3D tentacles from the sky!

       [-root] [-delay int] [-speed ratio] [-count int] [-slices int] [-length
       float]	[-wiggliness   ratio]	[-flexibility  ratio]  [-color	color]
       [-stripe-color color] [-sucker-color color] [-segments int] [-thickness
       ratio] [-no-smooth] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION
       There  is  a  tentacled	abomination  in	 the  sky.   From above you it
       devours.

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 int
	       Delay between frames, in microseconds.  Default 30000.

       -speed ratio
	       Less than 1 for slower, greater than 1 for faster.  Default 1.

       -count int
	       How many tentacles.  Default 8.

       -thickness ratio
	       Less than 1 for thinner tentacles, greater than 1 for  thicker.
	       Default 1.

       -length ratio
	       Length of the tentacles.	 Default 9.

       -wiggliness ratio
	       A  measure  of  how  bendy  the tentacles are.  Smaller numbers
	       result in smoother flexing; larger numbers make	it  "crinkly".
	       Default 0.35.

       -flexibility ratio
	       Another	measure	 of how bendy the tentacles are.  Smaller num‐
	       bers result in straighter tentacles; larger numbers  result  in
	       more extreme curves.  Default 0.35.

       -color color

       -stripe-color color

       -sucker-color color
	       The colors of the various parts of the tentacle.	 Default green
	       with a redish stripe.

       -slices int

       -segments int
	       Larger numbers increase number of polygons in the object	 mesh.
	       Default 32.

       -no-smooth
	       Make the tentacles appear faceted instead of smooth.

       -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.
