Thanks a lot, xlsior! I'll definitely have a look at that code. And thanks for testing the game on Intel Macs, AngelDaniel and ChromeFly!
WendellM: Well, the problem is that the only thing I do during those 10 seconds is to set up the Graphics object, and load the background + the "Loading..." image. Then it's supposed to show the loading screen immediately - but apparently there's a 10 second blank screen before that. *Sigh* I'll have a look to see if I might have done something strange...or maybe I can just print a little "pre-loading" text before the initial loading for the loading screen is done. :)
