Zarf on "a two-threaded Glk library"

[Peter Pears]

I'll copy/paste Zarf's post. I don't know whether this technique will be of any use to you, but I figure I might as well bring it up. Cheers!

"I lay out a model for implementing a two-threaded Glk library -- one thread for the user interface, one for the virtual machine (Glulx). I used this when implementing Glk for iOS.

CocoaGlk tries to do this but has some bugs. So I figured I should write up my plan.

To clarify: this isn't something that game authors have to worry about, or will even notice. (Except for interpreter bugs if it's done wrong. :) This is a technique for implementing an interpreter which runs smoothly on a modern GUI OS."
