Animated Star isn't working

[Grapefruit]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I'm trying to get the star to change color (that part's working). I also want the circles around the star to move and for there to be more circles (so it looks more animated). I'm also trying to get the star to twirl around.

What is the problem you are having?
The animation with the circles around the stars doesn't work well. Also, when the star twirls, it isn't clearing the old star so it isn't working.

Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I DONT KNOW HOW!


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

Turing:

%Star on Christmas tree var starRand:int var colorAroundStar:int:=14 var colorAroundStar1:int var starx1:int:=1048 var stary1:int:=233 var starx2:int:=1067 var stary2:int:=254 var star1x:int:=1048 var star1y:int:=233 var star2x:int:=1067 var star2y:int:=254 %star on top of tree     randint(starRand,1,15)     randint(colorAroundStar1,1,255)     if colorAroundStar1=14 then         colorAroundStar:=14     end if     if colorAroundStar1=44 then         colorAroundStar:=44     end if     if colorAroundStar1=67 then         colorAroundStar:=67     end if     if colorAroundStar1=68 then         colorAroundStar:=68     end if     if colorAroundStar1=69 then         colorAroundStar:=69     end if     if colorAroundStar1=91 then         colorAroundStar:=91     end if     if colorAroundStar1=92 then         colorAroundStar:=92     end if     if colorAroundStar1=93 then         colorAroundStar:=93     end if         drawfillstar(star1x,star1y,star2x,star2y,colorAroundStar)     if starRand=2 then         starx1:=starx2         star1y:=stary2         star2x:=starx1         star2y:=stary1     end if     if starRand=4 then         star1y:=stary1         star1x:=starx1         star2x:=starx2         star2y:=stary2     end if         if starRand>0 and starRand<7 then         %forth circle on star         drawoval(1058,243,20,20,colorAroundStar)         %third circle on star         drawoval(1058,243,28,28,colorAroundStar)         drawoval(1058,243,29,29,colorAroundStar)         drawoval(1058,243,30,30,colorAroundStar)     end if

just to clarify, the entire program (other then declaring variables) is in a loop. Forgot to attach

If you already knew how to do everything, you wouldn't be taking this class, right?

You should probably post the code that you are having problems with (ideally the minimal example the demonstrates the problem).

Although although..

Turing:

if colorAroundStar1=14 then         colorAroundStar:=14     end if     if colorAroundStar1=44 then         colorAroundStar:=44     end if

what does this piece of code do?
