Skyrocket

Fireworks shot up from a football field light up the night sky over a city in this highly customizable screensaver. The camera actively hovers through the colorful explosions under the clouds and stars. The maximum number of rockets, as well as the wind speed, star density, amount of ambient light and other settings can be customized to your preference.

This screensaver is incredibly awesome and breathtaking. It is highly customisable and realistic. It works perfectly on my M1 macbook.

I have this on an old ubuntu box and on my M$
I have XSCREEENSAVER on my Pi4, and I want to add SKYROCKET.scr

How can I add it? I've been searching for instructions from time to time on how to do it for a couple years, xscreensaver help files faqs and manual have nothing about adding any screensavers except adding the bundled extra xscreensavers...

WOW

To the commenter who said it doesn't work on El Capitan... It definitely does work. I'm running OS10.11.6 and it works great. I clicked on the app and it asked if it wanted to install and I said yes and that was it.

This is my favorite screen saver. Thank you so much.
