Game splash screen

[vector]

Attention bygfoot gamers!!

I have been thinking about a front page or splash screen for the game.
Something that comes up before the current "Select Team and country window"

Something jazzy and animated lasting no more than 5 or so seconds?

Or something that will loop itself untill a key is hit?
(this could act like a demo, running thru game screen shots)?

All the above should be disableable in the game prefernces of course.

a nice idea. i'd opt for the 'end when key is hit'; i don't like programs that force me to watch their demo. maybe i could even put the animation together myself with static images within the game, i thought i saw some functions for that yesterday; would that have any advantage?

I quite agree and yes please look to see if there is a function for that. Im not sure how to get screen grabs in linux yet.

Maybe, just a technicl idea :
Use a animation in mng format ? (PNG+animation) and :
- Use GdkPixBuf for rendering animation http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/ ... ation.html
and

- Use Gtk Viewer form libmng http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/l ... iew=markup

yes, that'd be easier for me i'm not sure mng is supported but i know that gif is.

- Use Gtk Viewer form libmng http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/l ... iew=markup

hm.. you know i don't like to have non-standard dependencies.. you'd have to install libmng to compile if i used this.

I rather prefers to use mng instead of gif, gif can't have more than 256 colors.
But maybe GdkPixBuf don't have MNG support on all plateform.

all right, i'd say we use mng if it's supported and gif otherwise.
