//! Shows how to create a loading screen that waits for assets to load and render.
use bevy::{ecs::system::SystemId, prelude::*};
use pipelines_ready::*;

// The way we'll go about doing this in this example is to
// keep track of all assets that we want to have loaded before
// we transition to the desired scene.
//
// In order to ensure that visual assets are fully rendered
// before transitioning to the scene, we need to get the
// current status of cached pipelines.
//
// While loading and pipelines compilation is happening, we
// will show a loading screen. Once loading is complete, we
// will transition to the scene we just loaded.
