How can I create a starfield background with depth/speed of the stars?
Should I do it by hand or is there a way to use particles?
Thanks.
With stars flying at you from the center of the screen? Or with stars flying horizontally/vertically?
Vertically in the background. Like a kind of rain but with depth speed... I'm almost done with doing it by hand but I have to tweak the rate and speed. I wanted to know if that is too much and if there is a better way.
thanks.
Here is a quick attempt:

There is also a very cool effect you can try:
construct.net/en/make-games/addons/261/starfield-cycle
construct.net/en/free-online-games/starfield-effect-4155/play
This is what I got spawning sprites and then killing them at the end... the problem is that at the start you can see a black void... don't know how to trick that ... maybe wait till all the stars fill the screen and then start the game?
Edit: wrong video id

Wow that addon is something out of this world...
In the end I scattered a little more, it was too dense.
dop2000Thanks for your help!

You can create a few hundreds of stars in random positions on the screen on start of the layout.
