FadeToGame plugin is for the AttractMode front end. It will fade the screen when transitioning to and from a game.
You may also want to check out the Debug module.
You may need to change file paths as necessary as each platform (windows, mac, linux) has a slightly different directory structure.
- Copy plugin files to
$HOME/.attract/plugins/FadeToGame/
You can enable the FadeToGame plugin by running Attract Mode and pressing the tab key to enter the configure menu. Navigate to Plug-ins -> FadeToGame -> Enabled. Enable the plugin and set the Run Time to the amount of time in milliseconds to run the fade.
More functionality is expected as it meets my needs. If you have an idea of something to add that might benefit a wide range of layout developers, please join the AttractMode forum and send me a message.
