piecewise - lots of moving circles intersecting in interesting ways.

piecewise [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-delay number] [-count number] [-ncolors number] [-colorspeed number] [-minradius number] [-maxradius number] [-no-db] [-fps]

This draws a bunch of moving circles which switch from visibility to invisibility when they intersect.
