My program was using an SDL thread, actually, to run. That's probably the
problem. I got it running using native threads, using the srfi-18 module.
But, after trying it out I found that I couldn't run anything else at the
same time, so it was sort of pointless.
Consider this:
(define jim (lambda ()
(begin
(printf "a\n")
(sleep 10)
(printf "b\n"))))
(define jim_thread (make-thread jim))
Then when I run in the interpreter:
> (thread-start! jim_thread)
The read-eval-print loop input is no longer responsive. It prints out "a"
and then "b" and if i were to type (+ 4 3) in the console it would wait until
the thread is finished and then do (+ 4 3).
I just want to call my game_launch function in a thread and then be able
to run other things in the interpreter. Is there some easy way to do it,
or is there some example I could look at that does this?
