because everyone loves starfields!

This was basically my 'LEARN SOME GDI' project, partially motivated by Wiccaan's trainer.

Some fun facts:
Originally it was using SetPixel, this ended up being hilariously slow. Using DIB's is probably quite literally ten times the speed, apparently using bitmaps will yield the benefit of some nice hardware acceleration.

I'm aware it comes up suspicious when scanned, it's because I merged sections to shave a meager 1kb off the filesize. It's safe, I promise!

No floats, dodged the CRT bullet for filesize, took this one instead. Relies on msvcrt.dll instead.

edit: updated, smaller, faster. woohoo.

It looks totally awesome! And if you didn't do it using SetPixel, how did you do it?

I always used pre-made starfields from programs like SWFText for my starfield needs.
