ofxSurfingSplashScreen

Overview

An openFrameworks add-on to trigger a faded-out splash image. Typically when starting an oF_App, but working manually during runtime too.

Screencast

NON FLOATING MODE

FLOATING MODE

Features

• Floating and borderless mode. (WIN32 Only)
• Faded Out on non Floating mode.
• Can be triggered by code during runtime.
• Can disable all other app drawings during splash.
• NOT multi-threading, nor drawing during setup() for _longer loading_ apps.

Usage

``.cpp

include "ofxSurfingSplashScreen.h"

ofxSurfingSplashScreen splash;

void ofApp::setup() { // Set non floating mode //splash.setModeFloating(false);

// Pick your image splash.setup("assets/images/Paletto_Banner.png"); }

void ofApp::draw(){ { if (splash.draw()) return; // Can skip other drawings during splash

/ Draw your scene / }

// Manual trig splash splash.start(); ``

TODO:

Fix a small flick when transitioning window sizes on floating mode. Fix: On weird scenarios (retrig when not finished...) causes wrong window sizes. Rescale down drawing when the image is bigger than the window. Add multithreading to allow drawing during slow setups. Add a transparent window on floating mode, using PNGs with alpha.
