Suggestion: A change to the Loading Screen Image system that allows multiple images. #135

The loading screen would cycle through these images with a "fade transition" kinda thing.

Would be pretty useful to have some more eye candy/variety for the player while they're loading into a really big level, or if it's a level they'll be visiting somewhat often, or both.

Some bonuses that'd be cool, in descending order of potential usefulness: 1.) A similar system, but this time for the loading screen tip. However, ideally the player will be able to cycle through these themselves by clicking/pressing a button, just so they don't feel pressured to speed-read before it auto-transitions.

2.) A setting to randomize the order of the loading screen image and tip each time the level is opened.

3.) A setting to be able to set the time that needs to pass before an image transition occurs.

Random loading screen tips would also be wonderful.
