Rotating Star System

Based on the old screen saver, but allows for rotation. It uses trigonometric addition formulas to rotate several thousand points in a few milliseconds. Use arrow keys to rotate and wasd for movement.

I got it down to a square after a while of moving

that is because the stars are spawned in a square and they go further and further away from you which makes the stars go closer together and makes a square like shape.

Ohh..... Hadn't noticed the drift

Yes, the drift is annoying: if the rotation wasn't implemented it would be easy to reset the position of a star after it has passed from the camera's view. Now, the player may want to turn back to where a star was.
