Thread

Edit

A Thread is an object that runs a chunk of Lua code in the background. Threads are completely isolated from other threads, meaning they have their own Lua context and can't access the variables and functions of other threads. Communication between threads is limited and is accomplished by using Channel objects.

To get require to work properly, add require 'lovr.filesystem' to the thread code.

Constructor

lovr.thread.newThread

Create a new Thread.

Methods

Thread:getError	Get the Thread's error message.
Thread:isRunning	Check if the Thread is running.
Thread:start	Start the Thread.
Thread:wait	Wait for the Thread to complete.
