-- Configuration


-- Path: a list of points the title should show
-- the title screen will start at [0]
titlescreen.path = {
	[0] = {x=10,y=20,z=0},
	[1] = {x=0,y=20,z=10},
	[2] = {x=-10,y=20,z=0},
	[3] = {x=0,y=20,z=-10},
}

-- The camera speed (something between 1 and 10 should do it)
titlescreen.camera_speed = 2.5


-- todo list:

--- Start at a random point from path
--- Make use of find_path (?)
--- Teleport the player to where he was before showing the title screen
--- Read the path from an external file, and camera speed from a setting
--- Make an in-game path editor (at least, a command)
--- Add a dummy logo (minetest's logo ? :p)
--- Don't allow player to interact when he's on title (revoke interact?)
--- Make him invincible and invisible (so other players don't see him floating, and can't kill him)
