Is there any way to display an animation of some sort or some way to eliminate the delay from UI Switching to scene?

Why don't you just use a scene.SceneView instead of switching between ui and scene?

How would I do that?

I was thinking something like this:

import ui, scene

class MyScene (scene.Scene):
    def setup(self):
        pass

    def draw(self):
        scene.background(0, 0, 0)
        for touch in self.touches.values():
            scene.ellipse(touch.location.x-50, touch.location.y-50, 100, 100)


w, h = ui.get_screen_size()
root_view = ui.View(frame=(0, 0, w, h), background_color='white')
scene_view = scene.SceneView()
scene_view.frame = (0, 0, w, h)
scene_view.scene = MyScene()

def button_tapped(sender):
    sender.hidden = True 
    root_view.add_subview(scene_view)

button = ui.Button(frame=(w*0.5-50, h*0.5-50, 100, 100))
button.action = button_tapped
button.image = ui.Image.named('ionicons-ios7-play-32')

root_view.add_subview(button)
root_view.present()

I got most of it working here, but I can't get a view to remove.

    root_view.remove_subview(SelectACharacterView()) # this does not work

while root_view.subviews:
    root_view.remove_subview(root_view.subviews[-1])

@ccc This keeps the character view up but removes the game view

@techteej Looks like you tried to remove a newly created SelectACharacterView (which isn't a subview of root_view).

You would usually store the view as a variable or something, and then call root_view.remove_subview(subview). But you could probably do something like this:

for subview in root_view.subviews:
    if isinstance(subview, SelectACharacterView):
        root_view.remove_subview(subview)

We solved this one with sender.superview.close().
