SYNOPSIS

razzledazzle [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-delay number] [-speed number] [-ncolors number] [-density number] [-thickness number] [-mode string] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

Generates an infinitely-scrolling sequence of dazzle camouflage patterns. Dazzle Ships were military vessels during World War I and early in World War II that were painted not to conceal but to confuse: with these Cubist overlapping stripes, it was very hard to estimate their size, range and heading. This was a big deal before the invention of Radar.
