Hi all. I've got the basics of my game sorted now. So i've decided that i now need a startup screen (the main reason being that the loading time so gonna be significant once i implement my next bit). If i make a startup screen, then i can have a nice progress bar for the loading.

Currently i'm spawning a window, initalizing DX, then entering the message/game loop straight away.


I'm just curious as to how everyone else handles things like loading/menu screens.
