How the Silo Defense screensaver works
A self-playing crosshair traces trails across the sky, launching interceptors at incoming missiles.
Missiles streak down toward a row of silos; successful intercepts detonate in an expanding blast radius.
The pace gradually escalates, exactly like the arcade original's wave-based difficulty curve.
All art and names here are original, in the spirit of the genre rather than a copy of any one game.
A worked example
An incoming missile trail is intercepted just before reaching a silo, its blast radius catching two more missiles in the same wave.
