Multi Version: 16.0.1 - Bug fix

Found an issue? Please submit it and someone will look into it!

My multitasking library for lua. It is a pure lua binding, with exceptions of the integrations.

Progress is being made in v16.1.0

INSTALLING

Link to optional dependencies:

• lanes luarocks install lanes

• chronos luarocks install chronos

• love2d

  When using love2d add multi:uManager() or any processor to love.update()

  function love.update(dt)
   	multi:uManager()
  end

To install copy the multi folder into your environment and you are good to go
If you want to use the system threads, then you'll need to install lanes or love2d game engine!

luarocks install multi

Planned features/TODO

• Create test suite (In progress, mostly done)
• Network Parallelism rework

Usage: Check out the documentation for more info

You can run tests in 2 ways:

lua tests/runtests.lua (Runs all tests, attempts to use lanes)
love tests (Runs all tests in love2d env)

local multi, thread = require("multi"):init()
GLOBAL, THREAD = require("multi.integration.threading"):init()

multi:newSystemThread("System Thread",function()
	while true do
		THREAD.sleep(.1)
		io.write(" World")
		THREAD.kill()
	end
end)

multi:newThread("Coroutine Based Thread",function()
	while true do
		io.write("Hello")
		thread.sleep(.1)
		thread.kill()
	end
end)

multi:newTLoop(function(loop)
	print("!")
	loop:Destroy()
	os.exit()
end,.3)

multi:mainloop()

--[[
while true do
	multi:uManager()
end
]]
