Getting Started
---------------
You can make it snow:
```bash
$ snowmachine snow
```
or render a tree:
```bash
$ snowmachine tree
```
You can also tell it to stack the snow if you prefer.
```bash
$ snowmachine snow --stack=pile
```
If you don't like the unicode particles you can tell it to use
asterisk or some other character. If you use cmd.exe for example,
this will be required.
```bash
$ snowmachine snow --stack=pile --particle="*"
```
You can also change the particle colors if you would like:
```bash
$ snowmachine snow --color=rainbow
```
In addition you can change the speed of particles:
```bash
$ snowmachine --speed=5
```
You can find a bash(shell) script version of this here:

## Star Options
The Christmas tree can now be decorated with different star styles on top. Use the `--star` option with the `tree` command to add a star. Available styles are:
- `classic`: A traditional 5-point star pattern made with asterisks
- `diamond`: A diamond-shaped star pattern
- `patrick`: A playful star pattern resembling a starfish
Example usage:
```bash
$ snowmachine tree --star=classic
```
