Hi everyone,

Screenshot 2026-07-05 at 7.58.44 AM.png

So I did a thing... after making the little parallax star field example, and then fooling around a bit to make it follow mouse input, I kept tinkering and somehow ended up making a little Demoscene style BBStro for my BBS (of all things). 😜

Star fields, wire frame objects and morphs, OH MY! 🤣
It's 1990 again! 😎

It runs well on my LC475 and also runs on my M1 MacBook Air in Basilisk II.
Tested with System 7.5.5.

Be sure to play with the star speed using - / + and move your mouse around to direct the stars path! 🙂

Download the compiled BBStro, or the full CodeWarrior PRO 4 project (commented source / libraries & resource file) from my Demozoo profile.

You can watch the BBStro here if you can't run it on real hardware...

Very cool - thanks for creating this!

Not too long ago I added a demo scene download directory to my BBS. I didn't think I'd be adding a new demo so quickly! 😀

Thanks BK. 🙂
Hoping to create one or two more little things over the summer / fall. Work keeps getting in the way. lol
I'm glad you enjoyed this! I learned a ton making it! 🙂
