[glob2-devel] Threads ?

[Bo Lorentsen]

Hi ...

I have been looking into the Globulation2 code a little, and of cause 
played the game i little too, and I like the framework.

I know that the engine need to be synchronous also regarding network 
comm., but it seems to me that the sound and GUI part don't need to be 
that synchronous, as it is only humans in the other end.

So why not use threads for at least the GUI/sound system (keep these two 
synchronous) and the game loop, and then later maybe make a thread for 
networking too (that insert commands into the main engine).

Also, the sound stream would get rid of this nagging "clicking" noise, 
because of the game loop.

Would this  be a nice thing to have, or does anyone need globulation as 
a single thread game for some unknown reason ?

This would be a nice way for me, to get around in the code, in the 
process of learning.

Btw. are there any comment policy in the source code, besides no 
comments :-) ?
