ACSS InfoTech 2014-15 Day: 49

Today I got started on the introduction screen by watching some Youtube videos. I figured to start, I needed to look into creating a smooth transition going into the intro screen as well as going out of the screen. What I plan to do is create a fade in/fade out transition. Fortunately, there are a few videos on youtube that will help me with it:

The script I am currently working around is:

create event:

image_alpha=1

fade=false

alarm event:

fade=true

step_event:

if (fade)

{

image_alpha-=0.01

if image_alpha<0

instance_destroy()

}

I also found a background off Google images that I feel will look good as a Intro Screen 

(especially for a game):
