well you could have the dots bein drawn near the middle and out towards the edge.. and then they would move down the screen and to the outside of screen... i think thats how it works |

it's not that good, but I have a compsci and guitar test tomorrow, so I couldn't spend too much time on it. But this is basicly what you could do. |

basicly, I created a star "object", where it has it's position and speed. Read up on records first. I increase the x and y coordinate of a star by their speed, then I change the size accoding to the x coord. It gets bigger as it gets near the edge of the screen. Then draw everything, View.Update it. |
