Scene exit and entrance styles

Thought it would be pretty beneficial, if people were to share their entrances and exits between scenes in this discussion. This is what I am doing right now to transition out of a scene. First off I have a boolean trigger in game attributes that signals true when a button that transfers you to another screen was released. The rule on the button is IF_touch is released DO_ change attribute Game.nextscene to true and then there is a TIMER that will change scene in 0.5 seconds. I went through each actor on scene and created a rule stating IF _game.nextscene = true DO _Change size -1. This gives a pretty cool shrink out exit for the scene. If there are ways of improving this method please let me know!!!! I hope more will share.

    Nice idea (I might steal it :) )

    Another method that might be nice is an animated pattern fade, they can work really well sometimes and if you are using a small pattern (in the examples below the image sequence is just 8x8 pixels) they are very processor and memory light.
