[patrick]

the goal is to implement a load screen that is been displayed during the load-time of the World and probably a little longer… SDL_image shall be used.

change in dimension:
I will make a generic ProgressBar class, that can be used to monitor progress of anything…

• practical use:
  • loadscreen of anything

• requirements:
  • self-initializing: if started, only the sceen is visible
  • modular setup: place the components wherever you want
  • monitor progress…

• implementation:
  • function to select the background image
  • function to set the positon of the progress bar
  • function to set the style of a progress bar (enum)
  • function to set the size of the entire progress bar modules
  • function to start looking at the screen and counting
  • tick/step function
  • bonus: func to display progressbar at the current viewpoint (in-game progress bar)
