Good to know
- Planet size calculation: (size * 16) - 1
- When random planet size is enabled, planets are given a random size variable between 1 and max size (this number will be the input in the calculation above)
- When disabled, all planets are given max size as their size
- spotlight mode generates nebula, starry background and only one planet in the middle of the screen
- Each star's brightness is a random value between (0-255)
- Nebula are yet to be customized
- Note that scaling down too much might affect performance
