DestSol - Add a splash screen

When you start Destination Sol, it scans for assets and classes through gestalt (an in-house asset management library), which can take a considerable amount of time on slower systems / when there are multiple modules. During this time, the player just sees a blank black screen, which does not polished. In this task, you will create a splash screen that shows while the assets are being scanned/loaded, and then trigger the normal DestSol window once that process is done. This is very similar to how Terasology uses a splash screen.

Definition of Done:

  • A PR to the DestSol repo, with the required changes.

Where to start
