Created page with "<pre> ThreadCreate( <name>, <function> ) </pre> === Description === Create a new thread and start it off executing a function or some code Sputnik supports multi-threading and..."

New page

<pre>
ThreadCreate( <name>, <function> )
</pre>

=== Description ===

Create a new thread and start it off executing a function or some code

Sputnik supports multi-threading and you can create threads in your code to assist you.

=== Parameters ===

==== name ====

Name of a thread to create.

==== function ====

Either a function to call or a string to exeute similar to Eval()

=== Return Value ===

Success: Returns 1.

Failure: Returns 0.

=== Remarks ===

You can spawn as many threads as you wish however there are a few important things to consider with threads.

* Threads can cause problems and even crash if used improperly.

* A thread works best if its like a worker thread that is designed to get/set global variables and do its own thing and call functions here and there, Threads dont like to be messing with every peice of code that you are messing with.

* Threads have their own stack and local variable that is independant from everything else they can however access global variables and functions etc.

* Threads dont like GUI stuff since most GUI functions are to be edited by the thread that created them therefor other threads arent too happy if you make them mess with GUI of the main thread etc.

=== Example ===

<syntaxhighlight lang="sputnik">
ThreadCreate("th1", "Thread1Func();"); // This thread will execute a function
ThreadCreate("th2", "Thread2Func();"); // This thread will execute a function
ThreadCreate("th3", 'println("Thread 3 says hi");'); // This thread will execute code

inputc();

Function Thread1Func()
{
while(true)
{
println("Hello from thread '" . ThreadName() . "'");
sleep(500);
}
}

Function Thread2Func()
{
while(true)
{
println("Heya from thread '" . ThreadName() . "'");
sleep(500);
}
}
</syntaxhighlight>
