How do you have a loading screen so that everything loads during that, rather than as you're playing?

sync:center text 320,400,"monkey":sync

this will update the screen with monkey then load all your stoff.
put this before your load object comands at the start on top.

simple use of backdrop on and backdrop off will help to acheive that.

+ Code Snippet

sync on
sync rate 60


backdrop off

for i = 1 to 100
make object cube i,1
position object i,rnd(20)-20,rnd(20)-20,rnd(20)-20
next i

box 0,0,screen width(),screen height(),rgb(0,0,0),rgb(0,0,0),rgb(0,0,250),rgb(0,0,250)
ink rgb(255,255,255),1
center text screen width()/2,screen width()/2,"objects ready press a key"
sync : sync
suspend for key

backdrop on


position camera 0,20,-50
point camera 0,0,0

disable escapekey : while escapekey()=0


sync : endwhile

for i = 1 to 100
delete object i
next i

end

Question from me..

doesn't turning the backdrop off put up a blank screen while the objects etc are loading?

and with the other code it still cuts off the loading screen to load the matrix..

is there a better way?

Ok so its not a mouse.
