I'm doing something similar, only with a simpler implementation, using
lua_newthread() and yielding from the debug hook. It works fine, executing any
Lua function as a timesliced thread and allowing multiple such threads to run
with the script. There are some snags; the global thread isn't timesliced, and I
can't currently actual Lua coroutines don't cooperate fully. The reason I posted
about this is that I think it would be nice if Lua supported cooperative
timeslicing of the VM in a general and efficient
manner.
