Original post by xegoth What about just a fixed image without a loading bar. Do I need to continually redraw it or is once sufficient?

It depends how you do it, I guess. I would think that stuff could happen to the window and it may get kinda messed up while loading. If it is a pretty short load time, you may be ok though.

Original post by RDragon1 Or throw the resource loading into it's own thread. Then you'll still have your render loop, etc. Have the resource loading thread update the 'percentage done', and then you'll be able to use that during each render loop to render your progress bar, or however else you want your loading screen to work. Best of luck.
