Hi all,
Just created a little starFX programme. It's nothing special just did it for a laugh. It runs fine on my system (866 PIII); my friend said on he’s system it was quite jerky (333 PII). I guess if you have better than an 866 it will run brilliantly. Let me know what you think.

What did you use for the stars? Some form of 3D, Directdraw, Setpixel, something else...?
No, I used go old VB all the way. To do the stars I used the PSet method.
You can't rotate it or anything..

right-click, save as.
Thats's right Fox you can't rotate it but as I said, I just did a for a laugh :D It only took me 5 minutes to create :cool:
I like your effect fox although I get a little tired of just seeing the flying through space effect over and over again. Still, yours has the option of moving about which is a nice touch.
Well what you should do at least is using SetPixel, because PSet really sux in speed..
Hi Fox,
I did use SetPixel at first but it went so fast that I couldn't see any of the stars :D
Please help me Fox,
I've changed it to SetPixel but it seems to be missing a lot of stars out. It only draws about half of them. Why is this and how can I fix it?
It's ok now, I changed the ScaleMode to Pixels :D
*argh*
erm well, a programm can't ever be too fast!!!
Use gettickcount to slow it down to the best framerate, but don't think it'll run as slow as on your computer ie. on mine :D :) :rolleyes:
Thanks for the advice Fox. That was the problem I was having, I wasn't sure how to slow it down without making it really jerky. I got it now though :D Thanks
