No Game Engine Game Dev: Word Sleuth 066C: Scene transition animations

Game Engines are for sissies!

Today's stream was very interrupted. This is the third of three parts.

After jump starting a dead car battery, the stream resumed. I finished up the NewHighScoreScene transitions and they don't look too bad.

I tackled a couple of small items after that: The Banner was showing at times when it shouldn't, which was an easy fix. Then I tried to find the bug with the wrong word being selected. I couldn't replicate it, but I did add some debug logging if it should trigger again.

I wasn't too pleased with how flat the MainMenu transitions were, so I added a bit of randomness and an additional fade in/out effect for when the game first loads and when you quit from the MainMenu. It looks much better.

There wasn't much left to do, so I started playing with a second ping color/shape for playback. I only had time to make the new image, put in the UV mapping and prove that they showed up correctly.
