Lua Threading API (designed for CC:Tweaked/ComputerCraft)

This lightweight library designed for Minecraft mod called CC:Tweaked, and allows to run concurrent/pseudo asynchronous threads, using corouitines.

How to install it?

Just place `lib` folder anywhere, and include lib into your project using `require("/path/to/your/lib/folder/lib/thread")`. Any other folder exept `thread` is not required, you can remove them.

Why?

This lib allows you to run many function simultaneously, but unlike parallel, threads can generate new threads and continue running. Since computers in CC:T/ComputerCraft don't have cores, every thread you run, is running one-by-one, creating pseudo asynchronous tasks

Demo:

How to use:

local thread = require "lib.thread"

Warning!

This library requires to be started anywhere in your code. It is recomended to start master thread in start of your app/os, run your code as a thread.

thread.start()
