    Cross fading backgrounds help

    Hi all, I'm pretty new here and also more of an artist than a coder.

    I'm currently prototyping my first game and I have an endless game loop where I switch the background (cross fading) based on certain rules. How would you do it?

    Thanks,
    Gianmichele

      Firstly I wouldn't do an endless loop, because it would block all UI and app would be unresponsive. Unless this is your purpose, you can try using timers, which won't block anything.
      --running timer 10 times each second should be sufficient
local timer = Timer.new(100)
 
timer:addEventListener(Event.TIMER, function()
--do what you need to do in loop here
end)
 
--start the timer
timer:start()

      Thanks!

      I figured it out thanks to the fading star example :)

      Now on to the next challenge (game logic!)
