My multitasking library for lua. It is a pure lua binding, with exceptions of the integrations and the love2d compat. If you find any bugs or have any issues, please [let me know](https://github.com/rayaman/multi/issues) and I'll look into it!.

INSTALLING
|
|
----------
|
|
Links to dependencies:
|
|
[lanes](https://github.com/LuaLanes/lanes)
|
|
|
|
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** use luarocks `luarocks install multi`

Going forward I will include a Release zip for love2d.

**The Network Manager rework is currently being worked on and the old version is not included in this version.**
