There is an example of coroutines in Doris. See http://doris.sf.net/

You'll need to get the coroutine example from CVS:

	http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/doris/doris/bin/eg/

Look at the gravity.lua example. It's lots of objects under the 
influence of each others mass.

Doris is bound to OpenGL so this is an example of how you run a main 
loop using GLUT, with Lua listening to update callbacks and then calling

GL. You could write your game using GL and Doris using a similar set up 
to the one here.

I'm, very slowly admittedly, adding SDL and network support to Doris so 
it should have sound, joystick and net support in the future.
