# Multi Version: 16.0.1 - Bug fix

Found an issue? Please [submit it](https://github.com/rayaman/multi/issues) and someone will look into it!

My multitasking library for lua. It is a pure lua binding, with exceptions of the integrations.

</br>

Progress is being made in [v16.0.0](https://github.com/rayaman/multi/tree/v16.0.0)

INSTALLING
----------
Link to optional dependencies:
- [lanes](https://github.com/LuaLanes/lanes) `luarocks install lanes`

- [chronos](https://github.com/ldrumm/chronos) `luarocks install chronos`

- [love2d](https://love2d.org/)
	
   When using love2d add multi:uManager() or any processor to love.update()

   ```lua
   function love.update(dt)
		multi:uManager()
   end
   ```

To install copy the multi folder into your environment and you are good to go</br>
If you want to use the system threads, then you'll need to install lanes or love2d game engine!

```
luarocks install multi
```

You can run tests in 2 ways:
```
lua tests/runtests.lua (Runs all tests, attempts to use lanes)
love tests (Runs all tests in love2d env)
```

```lua
local multi, thread = require("multi"):init()
GLOBAL, THREAD = require("multi.integration.threading"):init()

multi:newSystemThread("System Thread",function()
	while true do
		THREAD.sleep(.1)
		io.write(" World")
		THREAD.kill()
	end
end)

multi:newThread("Coroutine Based Thread",function()
	while true do
		io.write("Hello")
		thread.sleep(.1)
		thread.kill()
	end
end)

multi:newTLoop(function(loop)
	print("!")
	loop:Destroy()
	os.exit()
end,.3)

multi:mainloop()

--[[
while true do
	multi:uManager()
end
]]
```
