Re: Sleep

[Daniel Aquino <mr.danielaquino@...>]

I made this a while back as a quick example.

But jgiors said why not just rely on sdl or whatever your game is using ?


#include <lua.h>
#include <lualib.h>
#include <lauxlib.h>

#include <unistd.h>

static int l_usleep(lua_State *L)
{
	usleep( luaL_checkint(L,-1) );
	return 0;
}

static int l_msleep(lua_State *L)
{
	usleep( luaL_checkint(L,-1) * 1000 );
	return 0;

}

static int l_sleep(lua_State *L)
{
	sleep( luaL_checkint(L,-1) );
	return 0;
}

int luaopen_sleep(lua_State *L)
{
	lua_register( L, "usleep", l_usleep );
	lua_register( L, "msleep", l_msleep );

	lua_register( L, "sleep",  l_sleep  );
	return 1;
}

You could put a very short sleep inside Gabriel's timed loop. Even if the sleep wouldn't be interruptible, the loop would.
(it'd only make sense for relatively long sleep times because of sleep time granularity)
