We all know what threads are and what they do but what about threads in GameMaker. If a user has multiple processors/cores then a thread(s) would boost the performance of a game for sure by putting some processing elsewhere. However a single cored pc would just lag the game.
There is a dll that allows threads... but I wonder... is it even worth the time and effort?
-
yes, I've seen that dll before. To me, most games wouldn't really need it, and just looking at the coding involved it's not really practical. Depends if you're game's going to have a lot of action or behind the scenes action going on. Since most of my coding doesn't do that, I have no need to bother with threads until mark actually makes them possible with the standard GM package.

If your actually looking into designing something that requires multi-threading then I would seriously ask you to consider if GM really is the best language for that.

Well I said is it worth adding it to GM games, not other languages.

IMO, no. Too much of a bother.
