I'm writing a 3d shoot em up game and I want the background to be a
pretty backdrop of stars.  I've coded the stars as 1 * 1 rectangles
which get bunged into the OT using GsSortBoxFill.  They are being
displayed but what is happening is that they are all appearing in a
small box in the lower right hand corner of the screen. I am assigning
each star random co-ordinates using something like x = rand()%320, y =
rand()%256.  I know that I have to do something to the co-ordinates to
map them into 3d space ( i.e the whole screen ) but I cannot determine
what. Can anyone help please !!!
