Hi! I wrote this code to try and implement a blur effect. I have not added any blur effect yet, I just want some tips on how I could achieve it.
The code below is just some stupid code that makes a starfield. Basically and hints or tips only that will point me in the right direction for making each star have a blur effect. ie leaving a blurry trail behind it as it goes down the screen
Should I start by looking at locking buffers?
