[Feature Request] Loading screen between layouts

Hi all,

I think it is an essential feature in any game engine. Sometimes the load between large layouts takes a while and the user may think that the game is frozen.

As you have already seen in other games, you can add an animation, a few tips or mini games while the game loads the layout into memory

What do you think about this?

This is my first post on the forum and I am already requesting ...

Lil tip: fade out screen and music when you have to transition. Can do so manually, or:

Fade sound: http://c2rexplugins.weebly.com/rex_audio_helper.html

Fade layout: plugin-updated-layouttransition-v1-2-layouts-transitions_t129279

good tip... please more...

Anyway, I think having a loading screen between layouts would be useful for the program, for developers and for users of the game.

would you use this feature if you had it?

Making loading screens are pretty easy and doing it yourself lend you more flexibility than a plugin that does it for you. Though I can understand the convenience of having one.

I read a lot of posts about loading screens between layouts, but i don't find the solution...

in this ashley suggested a trick and explained that wasn't possible...

"You can't make a real loading screen for switching between layouts, because the browser is busy and will not tick the engine while it's loading. What you can do, however, is display a "loading" message on the *previous* layout, then go to the next layout. While it's frozen loading the next layout the user will be looking at the loading message. You might need to put a small 'Wait' delay (e.g. 0.1 seconds) before actually changing layout, to make sure the display is redrawn with the new message before continuing. "

but i think that i have seen, i don't know where, html5 games with loading screens... maybe they use multiple projects with start loading screens... mmm... this is another question, how put multiples projects in a mobile app? ...buuuffff... maybe I'm just saying nonsense... but is possible?

Please eliasfrost, could you tell me how do you make the loading screen? thanks!
