Dear TeeEmCee,

How to we have multiple scripts running? I know they're not running consecutively, but you can trigger the same script twice in a row, and stuff. There is a bitset to that nature.

Sincerely, Mike.

Basically, they're discussing whether GAME is capable of going through more than one script at the same time.

Let's say we have two scripts: script "Numbers" with commands "123456789" and script "Letters" with commands "ABCD%EFGHI," where "%" is call(Numbers). Normally the commands would end up being processed in the order "ABCD123456789EFGHI," and if command 9 is "loop back to command 4 in an infinite loop," then commands E, F, G, H, and I will never be executed. Mike is suggesting an alternate method of launching a script that would cause the interpreter to start a second "thread," turning the order into something more like this:
A
B
C
D
% 1
E 2
F 3
G 4
H 5
I 6
- 7
- 8
- 9
This way, it doesn't matter that there's an infinite loop in Numbers, because the list of commands from Letters is still being processed alongside it. Letters could have an infinite loop, too, and they could keep looping around at different rates. Unfortunately, The Mad Cacti says, the script interpreter doesn't work this way, and making it work that way would be a ridiculous amount of work that nobody wants to do.

EDIT: trying to get formatting to work out properly
