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

INSTALLING
----------
Link to optional dependencies:
[lanes](https://github.com/LuaLanes/lanes)
[love2d](https://love2d.org/)

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!
**or** use luarocks `luarocks install multi`
