Ok, Everything works out fine now in my starfield program, except this.
stuff before this
class star
{
	unsigned short x; /*lots of other stuff, but this is all you need */
}

star starfield = new star[MAX_DOTS];

my class defines each variable randomly, but now it says that

starfield[next].x = rand() % SCREEN_W; /* the screen width */

this won't compile because 

Error: invalid types 'star[int]' for array

What does this error message mean.

Sorry for the newbie-type question, someday I'll be able to debug all of my
code myself, not just parts of it.
