Improved Starfield !!

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Improved Starfield !!

I'm trying to get a starfield background to look a little more interesting. Can anyone suggest a way to make them twinkle, or glow, or something that might look better? (and yes, i know stars don't twinkle in space).

In the example below; stars are game objects of a random colour simply plotted to the screen.

Any idea's?

Graphics 640,480

Tstar.generate()

While Not AppTerminate() And Not KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE)
	TGameObject.updateall() 
	TGameObject.drawall( True )
Wend

Type TGameObject
	Global list:TList = CreateList()
	Field x#,y#
	Field r% , g% , b%
	'----------------------------------------
	Method draw() 
	End Method
	'----------------------------------------
	Method update()
	End Method
	'----------------------------------------
	Function drawAll( clear% = False )
		If clear Then Cls
		For item:TGameObject = EachIn list
			item.draw() 
		Next
		Flip
	End Function
	'----------------------------------------
	Function updateAll() 
		For item:TGameObject = EachIn list
			item.update() 
		Next
	End Function
End Type

Type TStar Extends TGameObject
	'----------------------------------------
	Method Create:TStar() 
		x = Rand( 0, GraphicsWidth() )
		y = Rand( 0, GraphicsHeight() ) 
		r = Rand(128 , 255)
		g = Rand(128 , 255) 
		b = Rand(128 , 255)
		ListAddLast( list,Self )
	End Method
	'----------------------------------------
	Method draw() 
		SetColor( r,g,b )
		Plot( x,y )
	End Method
	'----------------------------------------
	Method update()
	End Method
	'----------------------------------------
	Function generate()
		For star% = 1 To 1000
			New TStar.Create() 
		Next
	End Function
