I'd thought I'd share my animated splash screen with you.

I'm trying to put together a default splash screen to use and this is what I came up with, logo and text move (complete with original music).

Edit: Download removed as it was a version that wouldn't work on any one else's machine. See video in later post.

You have to include the media folder for your project, making sure the (appname).byc file is in there, and deleting any other .byc file in there. The EXE is just the player that is modified to only run your bytecode file.

Ahh.. Do I have to include all images also as there are over 40 images that make up the anims as well as the music file?

In the meantime, here's a video of it (slightly updated with particles)

Yes, we have no other way to get the images.

An app made with AppGameKit requires the EXE, plus everything in the media folder for that project. (except your source code)

Looks pretty good.

Then that gives me media protection concerns, not so much for mobile devices but for Windows programs/games.

If you put your images in an Atlas, that offers a bit more protection, and you won't be violating anybody else's "do not distribute unmodified" clauses. At least I think that's the case.

There are a number of very cool application packers out there that will encrypt your media and virtualise your application making it very difficult to crack the contents, and still run the app as a single compressed executable.

I drink tea, and in my spare time I write software.

Sure, here's the code. The anims are separate images.
