A few tips on threading and multiprocessing

• be familiarized with cocos and pyglet in single threaded code before attempting threads or subprocess

• consider to use events and timers instead of threads or subproces

• multiprocessing: import cocos and pyglet only in one process, see issue #281

• threading

  • the gui thread must be the main thread

  • cocos code is not reentrant or thread-safe; call it only from the gui thread

  • use a queue to communicate with the gui thread; in the gui thread schedule a function to poll (non-blocking) the queue and dispatch as events

• The pyglet and cocos google groups have a few threads relevant, search there for ‘threading’ or ‘subprocess’
