LÖVE

Flare is a splash screen library for Love2D! What it does is creates a completely customizable splash-screen window. The steps to create a basic splash-screen is simple.

The following is the most basic splash-screen one can create with Flare:- (by basic I don't mean useless though)
Assuming `splash.jpg` exists! reate a default splash-screen with copyright and loading text at bottom-left and no progress bar. But we decide to remove the text and show the built-in progress bar that comes with flare. So we change the second line with:-
And that'd have the following effect:-



You can do a lots of other stuff such as set the duration of splash (which by default is 5 seconds), change the way progress bar is rendered, and so on...

Really cool! Did you added it to the libraries page of the Wiki or the Awesome-Love list on GitHub?

They won't accept it!
Anyways I'm glad my other two libraries (clove and iffy) made it to the list

Oh, it's a shame

Hi I am using the latest version of LOVE and I dont seem to be able to run your Flare Library. I have followed all your instructions but no luck!!!

Im getting the following error

main.lua:5: attempt to call global 'flare' (a nil value)

Traceback

main.lua:5: in main chunk
[C]: in function 'require'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'

Here is the code...

require("Flare")
flare("splash.jpg",{
showText=false,
showProgressBar=true
})

I have put the Flare.lua file in the default love directory.

Hope to hear from you, thanks.

Hi and welcome to the forums!

Flare should be all lowercase, and you should assign the returned value of require into a variable, as you could see in the documentation:
That will probably fix your issue. lua is a case sensitive language.
