X Version 11                                   6.08 (10-Oct-2023)                                      beats(6x)

Description

       The  beats  program  draws  balls that move around at a slightly different rate from each other, creating
       interesting chaotic and ordered beating patterns. Each cycle / pattern is created such that  it  finishes
       as  a single line of balls at the top of the screen, so that the patterns can smoothly transition between
       each other.

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.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
               The window ID to use with --root.
