    edited November 2011 in General questions
    gideros is a greate tools for making mobile games, it's easy and fast.
    I made a simple puzzle game with several scenes,
    such as main menu, game scene, help screen and pause screen and so on
    I can not find any sample code about scene transitions, so I have to make each screen as a sprite and use addChild and removeChild on stage for translate from one screen to another, I kown it's not the right way.

    and by the way,on the faq page
    4. How do I evaluate Gideros Studio? You can download Gideros Studio and run it on any machines. Using Gideros Studio is free. When you use a free Gideros Studio, deployed applications will show a Gideros Studio Splash when they are run on a real device.

    I deployed my app to my iphone, but no Gideros Studio Splash show when I lunch my app, is the Splash need to add maually?

      You do not need to put a splash screen at all at the moment, as it's a planned featured as soon as there's a paid version.

      However we'd be more than glad if you write something like "Made using Gideros Studio" inside your game, and mention about us. ;)

      If you can wait for a couple of days, I can show you a good way to translate scenes.

      Hi,

      I've coded a simple scene manager class. Here is the download link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/684866/Scene Manager.zip
      http://dl.dropbox.com/u/684866/Scene Manager v1.0.1.zip
      (edit: with v1.0.1, collectgarbage() is called at the end of transition)

      It supports 21 transition types, easing functions and transition begin/end notifications.

      And here are the usage steps:

      1. For each of your scene, derive a class from Sprite (and preferably put them into separate .lua files):
      Menu = gideros.class(Sprite)
Game = gideros.class(Sprite)
EndScene = gideros.class(Sprite)
      2. Create a SceneManager instance and while creating pass a table with keys as scene names and values as your classes:
      local sceneManager = SceneManager.new{
    ["menu"] = Menu,
    ["game"] = Game,
    ["endScene"] = EndScene,
}
stage:addChild(sceneManager)
      3. Change between scenes with function SceneManager:changeScene(sceneName, duration, transition, ease) like:
      sceneManager:changeScene("game", 1, SceneManager.moveFromTop, easing.linear)
      4. Also SceneManager dispatches events "transitionBegin", "transitionEnd", "transitionInBegin", "transitionInEnd", "transitionOutBegin", "transitionOutEnd". You can register to these events to begin/end your animations, clear your timers, save the scores, etc... You can look at the example to understand these events in a more detail.

      Hope you like it :)

      atilim,

      That is a great little library, but I have a question.

      Is there a way to make it so it loads a "menu" screen initially, and how would one remove the buttons on transition, to be replaced with other versions on each screen. (Such as going from a main menu to a settings menu, or the actual game.)

      Thanks!

      I've only recently dug into Gideros, but so far I'm enjoying it!

      Your way of using GTween is totally ok.

      @Fedoranimus
      After you create the SceneManager, call its changeScene("menu") function to display the menu screen (If you named your Menu Sprite as "menu")

      I prefer to design each screen as a different Sprite (they can share a common background) and let SceneManager do the transitions and add/remove the sprites. Optionally you can put a background behind and put SceneManager on top of it.

      I'm glad you like it :)
