We've started off this program with just a star positioned using 2 variables, and it's up to you to decide how to animate it. Here are the steps we suggest:</p> <ol class="styled-list"> <li>Decide what side of the canvas you want the star to start from, the top, bottom, left or right, and position your star there.</li> <li>Decide what direction you want the star to move in. Change the variables inside <code>draw</code> so that the star moves the way you wanted.</li> <li>Add another star or other shape, and animate it going in a different direction.</li> <li>Bonus: Change the star into a different shape, or have it shoot out of a cannon.</li> <li>Bonus: Add a backdrop, like a starry night or skyscrapers.</li> </ol> project
