Loading screen

cocos2d-x C++
#1

Hi,

I have a function called loadlevel that first loads all the textures for my level into the CCSpriteFrameCache and then creates the various objects and sprites. This works but has a delay so I wanted to make a loading screen.

I wanted to use tinythread before I started reading that cocos is not threadsafe some times. Is this true? What causes the issue if so? I get very weird errors that do not seem reproducible each time I run it.

Does anyone have an example of how to do this?

I have been looking at the demos but there doesn’t seem to be one for this. The closest I saw were the TextureAsync demo or the TextureCacheTest.

Any thoughts or advice is appreciated. Thanks

you can reference a sample in cocos2d-2.1rc0-x-2.1.2

Any one in particular? These look the same as the others I was looking at.

If cocos is not thread safe is it because of the auto release pool?

Thanks

What I did for a “fake” loading screen is to create a new scene with a sprite of the progress bar and then load a texture every 5 frames or so.
