Making splash screen animated in cocos2d-iphone?

Question

In cocos2d there is always a splash screen by default. How to replace it (or just to delete that one and make other way) with something animated , for example? Is it good idea at all? How it affects the moderation?

Answer 1

This is how we've handled this in our game in cocos2d-x:

1. Set a blank Orange LaunchImage in Xcode.

2. In the AppController as soon as the EAGLView is setup we change it's backgroundColor to the same Orange as our LaunchImage because it was showing a black screen for a split second before showing our animated splash scene/layer.

   __glView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:GC_BG_COLOR_RED green:GC_BG_COLOR_GREEN blue:GC_BG_COLOR_BLUE alpha:1];
   

3. Created a scene/layer before the menu that is shown for 3-4 seconds, on which we show our brand's logo animation.

4. On completion of the animation we reset the backgroundColor back to the default black.

Answer 2

your splash screen image replace the "Default.png" in project resource.
