How can I create preloader?

mertocan

Hello. I am about to release my first game. I need preloader for my game. I searched on forum but couldnt find anything. Does anyone know how we can create preloader?

That's great news!

There isn't a concept of preloader in Gideros but you can put a loading image at the beginning and load all your assets at the first ENTER_FRAME event. You can use an implementation like:

local loading = Bitmap.new(Texture.new("loading.png")) stage:addChild(loading)   local function preloader()   -- load all your assets here   stage:removeChild(loading) loading = nil stage:removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, preloader)   -- start your game here end   stage:addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, preloader)

can i create loading screen with animation?

AFAIK - You can't get any progress as to the loading of an individual asset, however if you have a lot of images, you can manage your own loading screen by simply counting off each image as it's loaded and updating a progress bar during your onEnterFrame listener function.

@hnim, if you can use the enter frame with flags that keep track of each item loaded/queued, etc, then you could effectively have a loading screen with animation.

but i dont think this can make smooth animation. so i need to waint next version with async texture loading feature.
