looks more like falling snow then it does stars, to me anyway. 10 lines of code hardly seems complicated or advanced to me. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Why are you posting a non DirectX prog in this section? "BitBlt" in the GDI32 dll is not a DirectX!!! Althought, it looks very nice. 4 globes! -1 for a wrong posting (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

I don't think that it is made with dx and it would be good just then if you would use 3d models,u should import 3ds or .x models to Vb(You can make them wih anim8tor,3d max or others)I hope you'll do better...Not impressed now... (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

What you've done here is called a "parallax background" It gives the impression of distance. Objects in the distance move slow while object moving faster (and larger in size) appear to be closer. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Well .. it's beginner level code. [but it's not DirectX]. Anyway I have noticed a minor mistake in the code. People who have observed *carefully* should have noticed that, when the execution starts, the star-field does *NOT* cover the whole screen (though the form is set to "maximized" mode). This is because the star-field is initialized in Form_Load procedure.
Change the procedure's name to Form_Activate and the star-field would cover the entire screen right when the execution starts.
And, btw the attached Module1.bas is not required. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
