Description

Draws some intersecting planes, making use of alpha blending, fog, textures, and mipmaps, plus a ``frames per second'' meter so that you can tell how fast your graphics card is... Requires OpenGL.

-delay number
Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 10000 (0.01 seconds.).
-image file
The texture map to use.
-quads number
Quad Count. 1 - 50. Default: 5.
-light | -no-light
Whether to enable lighting.
-fog | -no-fog
Whether to enable fog.
-texture | -no-texture
