Installation

pip install splashscreen-engine

OR

pip install splashscreen-engine==2.0.0

Example

import splashscreen_engine as splash

screen = splash.Screen()
screen.size(750,500)

# This Starts The Engine
screen.start()

# Background Video
video = splash.BackgroundVideo(
    screen,
    "exampleVid.mp4",
    fps=30,
    loop=True
)

video.play()

# Loading Bar
bar = splash.LoadingBar(screen,add_xy=(0,100)) # By default, position is `center` and add 100 units to y-axis
bar.place()

# Text `loading`
text = splash.Text(
    screen,
    "Loading...",
    "impact",
    20,
    "down",
    add_xy=(0,-80) # Place the text downward and subtract 80 units from y-axis
)

text.show()

# LOADING | you can add your `loading` processes here

a = 0

while not a >= 100:

    a += 0.3

    text.edit(
        text=f"loading : {round(a,2)}%"
    )

    bar.set_progress(a)

    screen.wait(0.05)

text.edit(
    text="loaded : 100%"
)

screen.wait(3)

# Stop the splash screen after loading
screen.stop()


"""
if you are using pygame module in your own code,
use `screen.stop(quit_pygame=False)`
instead of `screen.stop()`

# Main Screen Example

import tkinter # pip install tkinter -- used as main screen for example.
main_screen = tkinter.Tk()

main_screen.geometry("750x500")

main_text = tkinter.Label(
    main_screen,
    text="Your Main Screen",
    font=("impact",40)
)

main_text.pack()

main_screen.mainloop()

Functions

Basic Window

import splashscreen_engine as splash

screen = splash.Screen()

screen.size(750, 500)

screen.start()

Stop and Delete Screen

screen.stop()

# Use:
screen.stop(quit_pygame=False)

# if you are using pygame in your own application.

Set Size for your window

screen.size(750,500)

# Arguments:
# width, height, fullscreen

# OR

screen.size(fullscreen=True)

Set title for your window

screen.title("Your Title")

Set Background color

screen.set_bg_color((255,0,0)) # Red

Get Window Size

width,height = screen.get_size()

---

Window with Title bar (optional)

A title bar is the top bar of a window. It usually contains:

• window title
• window icon # Coming Soon
• close button
• minimize button
• maximize button
• Note : Clicking on Maximize / Minimize button automatically resizes the screen

---

To create a Title Bar

screen = splash.Screen(title_bar=True)

Functions for Title Bar

To Check if the user clicked on X button

screen.is_quit()

To check if the user pressed Esc Key during fullscreen

screen.is_escaped()

Note : These functions are only applicable when title_bar = True else it will raise an error.

---

Wait Function

Instead of using time.sleep(), you can use this function because it prevents the window not responding issue.

screen.wait(0.5) # Seconds

---

Background Video

You can add a video as the background of your splash screen using this function.

video = splash.BackgroundVideo(
    screen,
    "exampleVid.mp4",
    fps=30,
    loop=True
)

# loop = True / False
# default(False)

# fps = int
# default(30)

Play video

video.play()

Pause video

video.pause()

Resume video

video.resume()

Delete video

video.delete()

Transparency

Make your video transparent.

Transparency Level: 0 to 255

Default: 120

video.transparency(150)

Stop Transparency

video.stop_transparency()

Stopping / Resuming Video Loops

# Loop Video
video.loop = True

# Stop the Loop
video.stop_loop()

# OR
video.loop = False

To check whether the video is playing or stopped

# Returns True if playing else False
video.playing()

---

Background Image

You can add an image as the background of your splash screen using this function.

bg_img = splash.BackgroundImage(
    screen,
    "YourImage.png"
)

bg_img.set()

---

Progress Bar

This function adds a progress bar.

bar = splash.LoadingBar(
    screen,
    position="down",
    add_xy=(0,-50)
)

# Arguments:
# parent, width, height,
# position, add_xy

bar.place()

# Arguments:
# colour, loading_colour

Available Positions

"center"
"right"
"left"
"up"
"down"

Hiding the Progress Bar

bar.hide()

Setting Progress

bar.set_progress(50)

---

Text

Adds text on the screen.

text = splash.Text(
    screen,
    "Loading...",
    "impact",
    20,
    position="center",
    add_xy=(0,0)
)

# Arguments:
# parent, text, font,
# size, position,
# add_xy, colour

text.show()

Available Positions

"center"
"right"
"left"
"up"
"down"

Show and Hide text

# Show text
text.show()

# Hide text
text.hide()

---

Edit The Text | Supports Dynamic Editing

This allows you to edit the text dynamically.

Example: Changing: f"Loading {i}%" inside loops.

text.edit(
    text = "New Loading Text Added",
    font = "IMPACT",
    new_size = 20,
    position = "center",
    add_xy = (0,0),
    colour = (0,255,0)
)

---

add_xy Argument

add_xy allows you to move objects relative to their selected position.

Structure:

add_xy = (x,y)

Value	Meaning
Positive x	Move Right
Negative x	Move Left
Positive y	Move Down
Negative y	Move Up

Example:

text = splash.Text(
    screen,
    "Loading...",
    position="center",
    add_xy=(0,-100)
)

This places the text:

• Horizontally centered
• 100 pixels above the center
