I am working on a 2D 360 degree scroller and I have been trying to figure out how to improve the background graphics effects. At the moment, I have a static starmap that scrolls; it look ok but I would really like to do something better. I can improve the backround using tiles but I would still have a static backround.

How can I add some animation to the backgound? For example, Fliaxoid and Xeno Assault II both have good background scenes?
