ComputerCraft to OpenComputers -> parallel API

[TheEisbaer 0]

Hi, how would I programm this:

parallel.waitForAny(eingabeTunnellaenge, checkStatus) 
while (einstellung == 1) do
	parallel.waitForAny(einstellungen,timeshow) -- bearbeitung der einstellung
	einstellungenSpeichern()
	bildschirmStart()
	einstellungenLesen()
	parallel.waitForAny(eingabeTunnellaenge, checkStatus) 
end

In OpenComputers, since it doesn't have a parallel API?

I think the closest thing to the computercraft parallel API is the process API.

 

http://ocdoc.cil.li/api:process

 

It allows setting up other scripts as processes, which if my guess is correct function similarly to parallels. Give it a look.

As I understand it, it is used to run multiple *.lua scripts at the same time, what I need is running multiple functions at the same time.

I might consider just porting the parallel api from cc if that's what you want.. Its not that big of a lib and fairly strait forward

I thought the same, but I don't know how to do that, because for that, I am too bad at Lua programming

This seems doable in Plan9k with its multi-threading, you basically do `local pid = os.spawn(threadFunc)` and then optionally `require("pipes").joinThread(pid)` to wait for spawned thread(s).
