Apple-like screensaver/image player project in purebasic..?

Post by zued »

Hi.

Shooting away a couple of questions concerning a project of mine.

- Are PureBasics 2D routines capable of producing smooth fullscreen transitions and scaling in realtime with larger pictures (ex. 1024x768)?

Saw an code example of an "imageplayer" in the forum but it only produced static fullscreen images that faded in and out from black.
It also preloaded all images before the main loop.

- Can PureBasic load an image as the main loop continues to run?
( without pausing caused by large imagefiles, - threading?)

Basicly, what I want to do is that the program scans the imagefolder, loads the first image - fades it in while continuing to slowly scales up during a couple of secs. The while this occures it loads the next imagefile in the imagefolder - fades it in ontop of the (in the background) running image. When fade in is done it releases the background image and starts to load the next one to ready for next fade in..

Possibly in Pure?

Thankfull for all answers.
