/*-------------------------------------------------------------
	mc.drawStar is a method for drawing star shaped
	polygons. Note that the stars by default 'point' to
	the right. This is because the method starts drawing
	at 0 degrees by default, putting the first point to
	the right of center. Negative values for points
	draws the star in reverse direction, allowing for
	knock-outs when used as part of a mask.
