Loading frame

[Bruto]

I did not manage yet to get a frame to take time to load.. so I believe the loading is as fast as MMF2 itself I'm right?
If so this is quite amazing!

Anybody got some app to take time to load a frame?

Yes. You should always put a "Loading" text somewhere before jumping to a frame.

I will use the first load screen like games with some animation, because it is all loading the game.

It is the largest delay, and then I go with the intro and continue to play as such.

Interesting! I didn't know we could have the first loading screen with animation! I will look into it.

Thanks!

The iOS runtime doesn't load the entire game during the first frame. It loads each frame completely seperate (though it does have to parse the entire data file at startup, but it doesn't process all of it)
It could be other reasons why the first frame is slow loading.

So if a frame is extremely heavy, what MMF2 will do during the loading? static screen only? I probably won't have that big frames but it is good to know.

It will just pause during the loading so it will show the image from the last frame until the next loads. So the trick to use a loading frame before a heavy frame is probably a good idea.
