How to create splashscreen with button?

ehsan

Hi there,

Can anyone please help me with generating code for a splash/intro screen?

What I'd like is for an intro page at the start that the user would click "play" for and the next part of the application would start?

I only want a basic page with a play button.

Thank you!

If by "splash screen" you mean an image that appears on start, then disappears after x time:

1. Make a very simple sketch that shows an image. Look upimage() and imageLoad in the reference.

2. Make the sketch show the image only IF less than x time has passed. Look up millis() in the reference for finding the time since start.

3. To make it clear with a click instead, create a true/false variable (a boolean) like splashClicked. Look up mouseClicked() -- when clicked, IF your variable was false, make it true. When drawing, IF it is true, don't show the image.

Share your code if you get stuck and have questions!
