The galaxy is made up of...
2 huge spheres with 2 star textures with different scaling and half alpha'd so the tiny background stars kinda twinkle.
Then I have a 'nebula' bitmap that is applied on top.
Then I have an array of galaxies (the blue spirally things). I have added red ones too now and have angled then and I spin then gently too as they drift about.
See 3rd screenshot above!
Then have a star array for the bigger stars.
Then I have an array of asteroid entities that spin / rotate.
I then have a comet particle effect.
And a sun particles effect.
I'm gonna add intermittant shooting stars too!
This is just the background for the game!!!
