Splash Scene

in our version of the game, we have a splash screen with our company logo, Elemental Studios. However, this step will most likely vary from person to person as you may want to use your own company logo. To do this, we used two seperate image banks so we can have more sprites on the screen for the elements in the corners. This, hwoever, meant that we needed to render each part of the elements in the corners as seperate sprites. You can do something similar with the following code. .. toctree:

code.py
def game_splash_scene():
# this function is the game scene
text = []
sprites = []
image_bank_3 = stage.Bank.from_bmp16("jungle_joe.bmp")
image_bank_4 = stage.Bank.from_bmp16("elemental_studios.bmp")
# sets the background to image 0 in the bank
background = stage.Grid(image_bank_3, constants.SCREEN_GRID_X, constants.SCREEN_GRID_Y)
text_1 = stage.Text(width=29, height=14, font=None, palette=constants.SCORE_PALETTE, buffer=None)
text_1.move(13, 60)
text_1.text("ELEMENTAL STUDIOS")
text.append(text_1)

text_2 = stage.Text(width=29, height=14, font=None, palette=constants.SCORE_PALETTE, buffer=None)
text_2.move(40, 80)
text_2.text("PRESENTS...")
text.append(text_2)

fire_upper_right = stage.Sprite(image_bank_4, 0, 16, 0)
sprites.append(fire_upper_right)
