Hi guys ..

I'm trying to make a fade effect at the beginning of my game ..
I'm using 'fade bitmap' command with a parameter of 0 for bitmap number , i use something like this :

+ Code Snippet

if fade < 100
   for fade = 0 to 100 step 10
      inc fade
      fade bitmap 0,fade
      sync
   next fade
endif


sync
loop

and when i use this code in my game , which contain some objects , the fade effect become too slow ..
so , is there another way to make that effect ?!
and thank you

I do screen fades by making a big black sprite the size of the screen, and then control the fade by altering the alpha value before pasting the sprite.

Hope that helps
