This was a bug - during development but the results were actually - quite attractive. (This option is only available - if you have the XPM library available and the - imake generated Makefile has defined HAVE_XPM). - - --33DD Normally, the simulation is done completely in two - dimensions. When a bubble swallows up another - bubble, the areas of each are added to get the - area of the resulting bubble. This option changes - the algorithm to instead add volume (imagining - each to be a sphere in 3D space). The whole thing - looks more realistic but I find it attracts atten- - tion to the flickering of each bubble as they are - move and are redrawn. Your mileage may vary. - - --ffiillee ffiilleennaammee - Use the pixmap definitions in the given file, - instead of the default (if one is compiled in). - This is ignored if _-_s_i_m_p_l_e is specified.
