Can someone help me. Its a beginner program. so ya

[Krocker]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Trying to make stars flash at different places at random times


What is the problem you are having?
I got the stars to flash at different areas, but it also apears on my buildings and grassy areas.


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
i treid to place it above the rest of tthe codings, but because it was a loop, it did not show te rest of the images


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

Try changing the code in the loop so that it only draws the stars if they are not over the building, grass, etc. by checking the x and y values.

Just changed the x, y so that it wasn't below the building line, can be changed further to allow stars only before/after but you would need a new drawfillstar line.

[Grim]

You could use whatdotcolour to ensure that if the stars are not on the sky they are cleared.
