How is it done in C++. I can't find a solution. I want to make a program that runs AR logic on one core and game logic on another core. How do I do that? Is it two .cpp running at the same time? How do I define that? Is there a tutorial or book some one can refer me to?

Yes when they put together the GDK a sad thing they forgot to take into account is Multi Threading, and OOP design. Well of course the language itself give you both of those options but the way that the GDK is implimented makes both of them a little difficult.

I believe that should help. Probably got the _beginthread arguments wrong, though...

You can also try OpenMP which is part of VSC++

Quote: "#include <process.h>

void AThread(void *p)
{
//thread stuff runs here
}

void AnotherThread(void *p)
{
//another thread
}

//now, starting these threads...
_beginthread(AThread, 1024);
_beginthread(AnotherThread, 1024);"


Yes the correct syntax for _beginthread is below

Oh yeah and the finction you call with _beginthread must call _endthread

OpenMP looks a little easier to use, but I don't know if I trust it.
