Sounds like a simple video card shortcoming to me. I'll keep this in 
mind if I make another game. Low-resolution video modes should always 
work, so I'll have to keep new games at 640x480 or 320x240. A lot of 
people hate these lower resolutions, but for 2D games they seem to work 
well. Cave story, for instance, has a large fan base. It used a low 
resolution and the scrolling wasn't smooth at all. People still loved it 
because the game play more than made up for the lack of graphics quality.

Thank you, Isaac. I would like to make enemies that you could kill, but 
using this method to do it is looking impossible. The stars and motes 
will always be the same if you go back to them, just like the landscape. 
It would be hard to do this with enemies, because the method I used 
doesn't allow me to change elements. They are all always static, though 
in the case of the motes it doesn't seem that way.
