Animated splash screen?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi guys,
I’d like to add an animated splash screen at the beginning of my application, but I don’t really know where to start. First of all, can I do such thing with the new splash screen plugin? If so, what format should the animated splashscreen be and how would I import it?
Kind regards
Bram

AFAIK - No.  The splash screen (via plugin) is a static image.

You can however, simply have your own ‘first’ scene (using composer) as a splash screen with anything you would normally do in a scene.

  1. Download this:

https://github.com/roaminggamer/CoronaGeek/raw/master/Hangouts/composer_scene_manager.zip

  1. Unzip it

  2. Run ~/composer_scene_manager/5_frame/ example

This is what I mean by making the first scene a splash screen.

That’s unfortunate for a 99 dollar plugin in my opinion. I’ll use the scene method, thanks Roaminggamer!

The $99 “plugin” is to remove the Corona branded splash screen, not to allow for additional features for the Corona splash screen.
