--mono
    If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.

--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.

--fill percent
    Specify the percent (0-100) of the screen which must be filled before the screen is cleared. 60-80 percent are good values.

--count number
    The number of squiralies. By default, the screen width divided by 32.

--delay usec
    The wait between steps. The default is 1000.

    The fraction of the time a squiraly will choose a new direction. The default is 0.005.

--handedness fraction
    The fraction of the time a squiraly will choose to enter lefthanded mode. 0.0 means exclusively right-handed behavior, 0.5 (the default) is a balance between the two, and 1.0 is exclusively left-handed behaviour.

    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
