I have no much experience with coroutines, but it seems to me that it works well when you have a loop that executes always (and fast) the same code, like: while true do cycle() coroutine.yield() end And you have something like a timer to call coroutine.resume(). In my case I'm building a gui to an existing text application, I can't figure out a solution with coroutines different from putting yield's in arbritary lines of code. And that's why I think threads would be appropriate. Maybe I'm wrong? Thanks, Francisco ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
