WAY COOL JASON!

Or at least I liked it :-)

I tweaked the color a bit--stars are bluish where I live.  When I have
the time, I may patch it to include a number of red stars.  What is the
approximate proportion of red stars in our galaxy?  My aesthetic opinion
is that around 0.05% would look best on the PC screen, though that's
probably a bit much for real life.

BTW--on my P233 I can run 100k stars without slowing down--though the
screen looks a bit cluttered that way.

So when do you write your first game?
