I think you missed the "non busy" part.
There's no built in sleep but it should be trivial to make a binding for it. I've also seen people use select() from luasocket for this purpose.Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Try out
function sleep(length)
local start = os.clock()
while os.clock() - start < length do end
end

Hi list,
is there a sleep function that is
- non-busy
- allows for ctrl-C
- doesn't get stuck
- does not require a C extension
I tried busy, system call and sockets from
http://lua-users.org/wiki/SleepFunction for the above reasons they
don't work for me.
Is there a rock offering a simple C-programmed sleep?
It's for a very simple game world tick with the focus on
demonstrating (other) principles, and ease of getting to run
oneself.
Thanks,
Henning
