Snake.pl is a small perl script that emulates the classic "pipes" screensaver in a terminal window.
Snake.pl ought to run on perl 5.8 and beyond with no prerequisites.
To get help, run snake.pl -h to see the following output:
Usage:
snake.pl [OPTIONS]
Options:
-p, --pipes=N Number of pipes. (Default: 1 )
-f, --fps=N Frames per second. (Default: 75 )
-a, --ascii ASCII mode. (Default: no )
-l, --length=N Minimum length of pipe. (Default: 2 )
-r, --prob=N Probability of chaning direction. (Default: 0.1)
-h, --help This help message.
Arguments:
-p, --pipes=*integer*
Number of pipes. A large number of pipes will probably slow things
down a bit. Default 1.
-f, --fps=*integer*
Frames per second. This will be kept to as well as possible. Default
75.
-a, --ascii
Use ASCII rather than unicode. This'll probably look pretty bad.
-l, --length=*integer*
Minimum length of a pipe, measured in characters.
-r, --prob=*float*
Probability of a pipe changing direction per time step.
-h, --help
