Printing randomly generated stars based on this one

[AjAlien]

I am looking for a way to draw 25 stars all with a different number of spikes and different levels of spikiness based on what I have so far in my program. I've tried looping through it with no luck (probably because I doing it wrong). I suppose you could say I would want to randomly generate the values? I would really appreciate the help on this. I am using DrawingPanel.java for this

 

My code:

My output:

Put a loop around the "fillStar" function call in the main function and send the function different values (random if you want.)

 

Example: 

Quote

fillStar(g, 250, 250, 150, 5, .3); // How to rotate it to start at center?

int xLoc = 250, yLoc=250, starSize=150, starPoints=5

double starWeird = .3 //I'm assuming the .3 number is what makes the stars look "twisted" or not.

 

Loop start

fillStar(g,xLoc,yLoc,starSize,starPoints,starWeird)

xLoc = Random number between 0 and 500

yLoc = Random number between 0 and 500

starSize = Random number between 50 and 100ish

starPoints = Random number between 3 and 10ish?

starWeird = Random number between 0 and 1

Loop end

Something like this?

int randomStars = (int)(Math.random()*25+1); // Variable for 25 Random Stars
           
           for (randomStars++; randomStars <= 25; randomStars++) {
           fillStar(g, 250, 250, 150, 5, .3);
           }

Yes except you'd have to change the numbers you're sending to the function, so that 250,250,150,5,.3. Those would all have to be variables. The only thing you've done is make the program create a random amount between 1 and 25 of those 5 pointed stars all at the exact location. See my edit above.
