/**
 * This class handles loading of Nightcode namespaces while the splash image
 * is displayed on the screen. See entry point main() method in this class. How
 * it works:
 * 0. Assumes the splash screen is loaded (see project.clj - :manifest entry)
 * 1. Loads nightcode.core/-main using reflection (it takes time)
 * 2. Closes splash screen
 * 3. Invokes nightcode.core/-main
 * See: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/misc/splashscreen.html
 * See (creating animated loader image): http://preloaders.net/en/search/text
