🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Straight from Terry Walsh (http://reallyslick.com), and I am quoting him exactly because this man ate:

"The most full-blown fireworks screensaver ever. It has bright lights, smoke trails, clouds that are illuminated by the explosions, sound effects, and plenty of other eye candy. I hope you have a powerful graphics card."

no cap, he said "I hope you have a powerful graphics card" and he meant it 💀 your GPU is about to be the main character.

Ported to Linux by Tugrul Galatali. 🫶
