Well I'm trying to make a program like the windos screen saver with the stars. Well it works... it just doesn't look right. Just need some help to make it actualy look like it should. Thanx.

Why do you use lines? Changing it to a dot looks better and when calculating your y values use maxy div 2 so its centered.

alright, heres whats wrong
code:
   drawdot (x1, y1, white)
        drawdot (x2, y2, white)
in place of
code:
drawline (x1,y1,x2,y2,white)

and change the
code:
maxx
with
code:
maxy
in these two lines
code:
        y1 := round (distance (o) * cosd (angel (o)) + maxx div 2)
                 y2 := round ((distance (o) - 10) * cosd (angel (o)) + maxx div 2)

and now... try this, it should look a lot better
all you have to do now is make it fullscreen and get rid of the titlebar! gj on the "particle engine" looking thing tho, great programming!
