Class StartScreen

Namespace: MicroEngine.Core
Assembly: MicroEngine.dll
Guide: Game lifecycle and time

The screen a game opens on while it loads: its start-screen image (MicroEngineSplashImage, by default the icon) centred on its colour (MicroEngineSplashColor), and “Made with MicroEngine” below when the game asks for it (MicroEngineSplashBranding). Phones and browsers show the same image and colour before the engine starts (launch screens, the loading page), so the player sees one continuous screen from the tap to the first frame. GameLoop draws it once, before Load, on platforms that run in real time; it adds no delay, and an error while loading is reported as before.
