Starfield is a small application that demonstrates the starfield effect used in the game Newo Shooter and is intended for beginners who are interested in developing Wii homebrew.

The app uses the GRRLIB library and is not a game. You can modify the included source code to simulate effects such as warps, rain, and other flying effects.

User guide

Check the source to see how it works. The C program basically draws some lines in 3d space inside a single GX block. Half the lines are a different colour and are moving slower than the other half. The lines move from the back of the box to the front (-1 to 1) and are placed back at -1 if they become greater than 1.

Lines are better than dots because they provide a nice motion blur appearance. You can interact with effect by pressing the appropriate buttons. If you change the angle you can make it look like rain, heavy rain or a slow drizzle. You only need the void draw_stardust() function, the rest of the code is just there to for the demo purpose and is not needed.

Controls

Minus/Plus - Nothing

A - Randomly switch the 2 colors

B - Increase the thickness of the lines

D-Pad - Change the effect angle in 3d

2 - Reduce the number of stars/lines drawn on screen

1 - Increase the number of stars/lines drawn on screen

Home - Return

-The source code of the app is written in C, it mainly draws some lines in 3D space within a single GX block. Half of the lines are a different color and move slower than the other half. The lines move from the back of the box to the front (-1 to 1) and are placed back at -1 if they become greater than 1.
-The use of lines is better than dots because they provide a nice motion blur appearance. Users can interact with the effect by pressing the appropriate buttons. By changing the angle, the user can make it look like rain, heavy rain or a slow drizzle. The only function that needs to be used is void draw_stardust() function, the rest of the code is just there for the demo purpose and is not needed.
