Better viewing angles in the event of a siege.
True story.

He copied some french designs.

Gee I wonder.

the star design is actually used for castles. It's to repel cannon balls by making it roll through. If you break a side of the star, you're now pigeon holed against the defenders which can then funnel you through.
The star design for keeps and castles actually have functional purpose. Nobody had straight gates.

Angles prevent direct impact from cannon fire, t. architect

It's called a star fort. It's useful against primitives.

They were ubiquitous and built everywhere in the world from around 1550 till 1900

No it's not, shut the fuck up. The star shape is for shooting at men approaching the walls. It's the sloped glacis on the outside that deflects cannon fire. And the walls are low and thick to better resist bombardment.

It's useful against everything if you've got defensive firearms and artillery.

No you fucking retard. the ball doesn't work well with the angles of the castle.

Oh, it has something to do with corners. More corners means, and more acute the angel is; the more resistant it is against siege weapons.
Colton Baker
Kill yourself. The angle is vertical, not horizontal.

The star shape is for crossfire.

Star forts are classic defensive structures. Their main goal is to provide ZERO cover to the enemy and always offer a flanking attack angle to shoot someone trying to hide at the wall's base.
