Funnily, I used to love such * programs in C. I wouldn't have answered this, but I couldn't stop trying this after a long time.

You can make a hut with something like this,

VB

Dim inp As Integer = CInt(InputBox("Even Number > 4"))
Dim output(,) As String
ReDim output(inp - 1, inp)
For i As Integer = 1 To inp
  If i = 1 Then
    output(i - 1, inp / 2) = "*"
  ElseIf i > 1 And inp / 2 - i + 1 > 0 Then
    output(i - 1, inp / 2 - i + 1) = "*"
    output(i - 1, inp / 2 + i - 1) = "*"
  ElseIf inp / 2 - i + 1 = 0 Then
    output(i - 1, inp / 2 - i + 1) = "*"
    output(i - 1, inp / 2 - i + 2) = "*"
    output(i - 1, inp / 2 + i - 2) = "*"
    output(i - 1, inp / 2 + i - 1) = "*"
  ElseIf inp / 2 - i + 1 < 0 Then
    output(i - 1, 1) = "*"
    output(i - 1, inp - 1) = "*"
    If i = inp Then
      output(i - 1, 2) = "*"
      output(i - 1, inp - 2) = "*"
    End If
  End If
Next

and output like this

VB

Dim opstring As String = ""
For i As Integer = 0 To output.GetLength(0) - 1
  For j As Integer = 0 To output.GetLength(1) - 1
    If output(i, j) = "" Then
      opstring &= " "
    Else
      opstring &= "*"
    End If
  Next
  opstring &= vbCrLf
Next
