GameMaker Native Splash Screen

Improve Your Game's Splash Screen with GameMaker Extension!

Are you looking to enhance your GameMaker projects with a sleek and professional splash screen? Introducing the GameMaker Splash Screen Extension, designed to bring your games to the next level with native PNG splash screens. Unlike GameMaker's default splash screen, which lacks transparency and can appear unappealing, our extension allows you to display stunning PNG images with transparent backgrounds seamlessly.

Why use this extension?

• Launch PNG splash screens quickly before GameMaker creates a window and loads its images.
• Showcase your logo or captivating images to engage players during the loading process.
• Enjoy the benefits of transparency, which GameMaker's default splash screen does not offer.
• Easy installation - simply drag and drop the "gmsplash.yymps" file into your project.

How To Use

• Add the extension to your project by dragging and dropping the "gmsplash.yymps" file.
• Include all resources in your project (excluding PNG images if desired).

•  Create a new object and choose from the following options that best suit your requirements:

Alarm code if you are using option-3

COMMANDS

splash_screen(filename, minimum_duration, auto_close)

filename: String  => Specify the name of the PNG file. Place it inside the "datafiles" folder and reference the filename directly without any path.

minimum_duration: int =>  Determine the duration (in milliseconds) that the PNG file will remain on the screen. Ideal for showcasing your logo or an image for a specific period.

auto_close: bool =>  Choose 0 or 1. If set to 0, you must manually call splash_screen_end elsewhere in your code to close the splash screen.

splash_screen_end() 

Call this function manually only if auto_close is set to 0 in the splash_screen() command. It's particularly useful for larger projects, allowing you to keep your logo displayed until the loading process finishes.

OPTIONS

Option-1

splash_screen("ustagames.png", 1000, 1)

Option-2

splash_screen("ustagames.png", 1000, 0)

splash_screen_end()

Option-3

splash_screen("ustagames.png", 1000, 0)

alarm[0] = 90
