SceneManager - Alternative To Director Class (Beta Testers Required)

Hey guys.

I have made a library for handling scene changes and require some testers just to ensure everything is perfect before releasing it to the community.

It features the following :

1) No memory leaks. I have tested and tested and tested. I cannot get it to leak any texture or main memory. More people who test this though the better as this is my main goal.

2) Scene change effects including : "fade", "zoomOutIn", "zoomOutInFade", "zoomInOut", "zoomInOutFade", "flip", "flipFadeOutIn", "zoomOutInRotate", "zoomOutInFadeRotate", "zoomInOutRotate", "zoomInOutFadeRotate"

3) Prevention of accidental button presses during transitions. The way the code is set up it is impossible to re-press buttons on the current scene while transitioning and not possible to touch buttons on the next scene until the transition is complete. As you know this saves all kind of headaches.

4) Error checking, there is checks in place for passed effect type and so forth.

5) Cleanup function. Pass anything you want cleaned/removed into the cleanup function and it will dispose of it for you after the first scene transition is complete.

Eg :

1
2
3
4
function localGroup:cleanUp()
        localGroup:removeSelf()
        localGroup = nil
end

Forgot to mention.

It also has similar syntax to director to allow for a more or less seamless changeover :
With the added feature of being able to pass in the time it should take for the transition to complete

1
2
3
4
5
scene:changeScene(sceneToLoad, effect, [time]) --Time parameter is optional defaults to standard 500ms if not specified
 
eg :
 
scene:changeScene("menu", "fade", 1000)
