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

#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.

Tested Systems

• Windows 10 / VS 2017 / OF ~0.11
