xroachng


Shows cockroaches running over the desktop


System/X11/Utilities

The classic xroach game for X11: displays disgusting cockroaches on your root window. These creepy crawlies scamper around until they find a window to hide under. Whenever you move or iconify a window, the exposed beetles again scamper for cover.

Adapted for desktop environments like Gnome and KDE. Still works for FVWM, TWM and the like.

Original copyright 1991 by J. T. Anderson. Squish option contributed by Rick Petkiewizc. Virtual root code adapted from patch sent by Colin Rafferty who borrowed it from Tom LaStrange. Several other folks sent similar fixes. Some glitches removed by patch from Guus Sliepen.

Willem Vermin adapted Xroach for Gnome, KFE etc. and added a graphical user interface.
