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? -- Charles Krug, Jr.
