DarkSpace

Something that has annoyed me for a while in DarkSpace are the stars.

Our existing stars are reasonable OK, but they are just a flat sprite image, and I have never felt that there is any depth to them.

This is the current type of star you will find in DS:


Here are a couple of screen-shots of a new version that I have been working on for a few hours:


After receiving a little feedback, I came up with this slightly improved version:

All is not good though, as you will see in the following image.

I need to work out how to get rid of that square which is the 'glare' texture being overlaid by two many other additive layers... ones which increase underlying brightness (IE. the Jump effect). It still works, and only occurs under certain circumstances, but I am not happy with it yet.
