Let a shooting star cross the sky now and then, never two in a hurry

A shooting star is a small gift in a quiet night scene, a moment of wonder or a sign in a story. Random chance each frame brings clusters of three, then nothing for minutes, and a replay never shows the same sky. Here is how to give the night a calm, repeatable rhythm with a promised minimum gap.

Why this works

Pure chance can bring two shooting stars in a row, which spoils the rarity. If each time slot holds at most one, placed inside the slot with margins, a gap between them is built in and the sky repeats after any time skip.

When not to use it

Don't use it for a meteor shower or a scripted wish, where the player expects many streaks or exactly one at a story moment. Choose the times yourself there, so the sky does what the scene needs.
