So I was playing with calling functions within functions and stuff and came up with a question...

in this example:



void MyFunction()


{


     DoThing();


     DoOtherThing();


}

Does it wait for DoThing to be done before going on to DoOtherThing? or will it do both at the same time?

It waits for DoThing to complete first, and the continues with DoOtherThing. V3 doesn't support multiple threads of execution...it's only ever doing one thing at any given moment.

Trust me, this is a good thing even if it doesn't sound like it. You really don't want the headache of multithreading in something like Verge. ;P

That being said, there are ways to fake it if you really, really need to, but you should probably get the hang of linear programming before you look into fake multithreaded programming.

The good news is, by stepping through code function by function, it is obviously much easier to catch an error than if everything is running at the same time.
