I have written some code to move some stars in a circle.

This is a snippet of the code:

vStar_Object._x = (Math.cos((vStar_Object.circlePos/180)*Math.PI))*160 +
vStar_Object.centerX;
                                vStar_Object._y =
(Math.sin((vStar_Object.circlePos/180)*Math.PI))*160 + vStar_Object.centerY;

                                                
                                vStar_Object.circlePos =
vStar_Object.circlePos + vStar_Object.speed;
                                                
                                                                
if (vStar_Object.circlePos == 360) {
        vStar_Object.circlePos = 0;
}
                                                
if (vStar_Object._alpha < 100) {
        vStar_Object._alpha +=1;
}

This seems to work just fine.

Anyway I need to change this so they move in an oval shape (like an egg on
its side)

Not being a mathematics expert I wondered if anyone can suggest how I can
amend my code to do so.

Thanks

Paul
