A downloadable game

This is a pygame-ce remake of the old arcade machine "Missile Command".

I tried to stay true to the original arcade vibe, but took some freedom with details that would require to simulate the actual hardware (e.g. the xor-style drawing of the explosions).

To me, it doesn't feel that far from the emulated arcade box and what I actually remember from playing it on the real arcade.

Give it a try.  It's not a deep game, but for a casual round every now and then, it'll do.

Just run the platform appropriate binary, it's self contained.

The `.exe` is for Windows, the `AppImage` for Linux.
