Drawing a Graphic on a Separate Thread

(1/2) > >>

AGP:
Hardware renderer in (lwjgl's frame) fullscreen throws a RuntimeException ("No OpenGL context found in the current thread."). I created a WorldProcessor with two threads as well as tried it the lwjgl way (GLContext.useContext()). Neither worked.

EgonOlsen:
Why would you want to do that? The GPU has to serialize the rendering anyway...

AGP:
It's a pre-splash graphic that's meant to run while the game is loading. Load time is as much as 20 seconds and I don't want a black or even just a static screen for that long.

AGP:
So, do you have a response?

EgonOlsen:
Then why don't you do the loading in a different thread and let the main thread render the splash screen? That's what I'm doing in Naroth as well.
