Today in school I was thinking about stuff that I can do for my game and I thought of a animation of sorts that I could use.
The idea would be that when you click start the animation would begin and under it would lie the game.
This is just an example of the idea and is not very fancy.

Pretty cool idea!

An other way you could do the same this is to draw a rectangle from top to bottom and change the game state when it reaches the height of your screen, like this

Code: Select all

function love.load()
	img = love.graphics.newImage('screen.png')
	w = love.graphics.getWidth()
	h = 0
	go = true
end

function love.update(dt)
	if go == true then
		h = h + (500 * dt)
	end
	
	if h >= love.graphics.getHeight() then
		go = false
		--change game state
	end
end

function love.draw()
	love.graphics.draw(img,0,0)
	love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255) -- or whatever color you want
	love.graphics.rectangle('fill',0,0,w,h)
end

For some of my games, I'm using a modified version of stateswitcher.lua that allows for scene transitions.

You simply use it like

Code: Select all

state.switch("game", "fromLeft", function() print("I'm done !") end)
--state.switch(scene, transition, oncomplete)

Transitions include fromLeft, fromRight, fromTop, fromBottom

Also, you need to use love.updateScene(dt) and love.drawScene() instead of love.update(dt) and love.draw().

Code: Select all
