your y values are too high and the stars are being drawn off the screen:

var sides := 10
for star : 1 .. 10
    drawfillstar (sides, 200, sides + 40, 250, 14)
    sides += 30 * 2
end for

it works for me...

try this:

var stars := 10
var Width := 30
var spaceWidth := 20
for star : 1 .. stars
    drawfillstar (Width * star + spaceWidth * star, maxy div 2 - Width div 2, Width * star + Width + spaceWidth * star, maxy div 2 + Width div 2, 14)
end for
