Description
The Threads plugin provides the ability to run Lua code in separate threads, taking advantage of multiple cores where available.
Example
Simple example of getting result from thread.
require "Threads"
local thread = Thread.new()
thread:setFunction(function()
local a
for i = 1, 10000000 do
a += 1
end
return i
end)
thread:execute()
local ok = false
while not ok do
ok = thread:getResult()
end
print("woot!")
Class
Thread
