Plaintext attract screens #86

Closed aaronklaassen closed 6 years ago

aaronklaassen commented 6 years ago

Imagine a world where I can just drop something like announcement.txt into /Attract and I get a screen with its contents in attract mode, like we do with images and videos.

Yeah for sure. It would probably be easiest to have it so that each attract screen is a separate file, but wondering how it might work with any future network support. So would this be cool?

attract_1.mp4 attract_2.txt attract_3.png attract_4.txt ...

Easiest would be Unity just grabbing things by file name, so if you number them then you can control when it goes up, but otherwise it'll just display in the order it picks them up. Thoughts?

@mrmwiebe Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. Just display them in alphabetical order. Network support could be shimmed in much easier once this much is in place.
