Hi,
I would like to launch multiple lua scripts, communicate with them and pause or terminate them from within lua. Also I would want this to be platform independent as much as possible.
I looked at multithreading libraries
here. All need some OS support so I am not sure if it will work even in systems like Android.
Then I looked at lua debugging. I think it should be possible to create a task switcher using the debug library. So a couple of steps are executed for a script and then for the next. This method then should be totally in Lua and work wherever Lua does. What are the disadvantages? Would there be a serious hit on performance?
