Coroutine support

Post by max »

First I want to thank you for the best mud client ever!

I have a question regarding coroutines: are there plans to support coroutines and if - when will it happen?

With coroutines in combination with timers a very nice continuation-pattern like programming style would be possible.

Here is an example with wait, much more powerful things could be done with eg. input based triggers:

Code: Select all

function wait(co, t)
  tempTimer(t, [[coroutine.resume(co)]])
  coroutine.yield();
end

function myCo(me)
  for i=1,10 do
    wait(me, 5)
    echo("every 5 secs")
  end
end

co = coroutine.create(myCo)
coroutine.resume(co, co)
thanks,
max

I believe if 5.2 gets mutexes back, heiko will add support.
