EDIT:

please change private class Star extends Polygon { method move() to --->

public void move() {
    if (location.x < 0 || location.x > frame.getContentPane().getWidth() - 20) {
        xIncr = -xIncr;
    }
    if (location.y < 0 || location.y > frame.getContentPane().getHeight() - 20) {

    }
    translate(xIncr, yIncr);
    location.setLocation(location.x + xIncr, location.y + yIncr);
