am I awake ? ..
ok I have a few questions if you dont mind ant.
1. Can I start a thread that will play an AVI aka game into and then continue to load my game media ?
2. Can more than one thread drop stuff to the back buffer ?
for example a game I did in Java, I had a "Insert Coin" that flashed on the screen, but the flash was controlled by a thread so it didnt have anything in the main loop telling it to flash. So can this be done ?
Is it stable enough to put something like AI into a thread and let it mince away on some complex AI choice tree while the rest of the game runs alone as normal, think chess ?
