Splash screen

Tutorial

This is a simple tutorial to establish the basic idea of how the GUI subsystem works. The goal is to create a simple, static splash screen.

Following is a file with the assets that will be used. The extracted files can be placed directly in your project folder and Godot will import them automatically.

robisplash_assets.zip.

Setting up

Set the display resolution to 800x450 in Project Settings, and set up a new scene like this:

The nodes “background” and “logo” are of TextureRect type. To display an image, drag the corresponding asset to the texture property.

The node “start” is a TextureButton. It takes several images for different states, but only the normal and pressed will be supplied in this example:

Finally, the node “copyright” is a Label.

Your final scene should look something like this.

Go ahead and run the project. If you’re satisfied with the results, continue to the next tutorial.
