I have been looking into how to use thread on windows with vs2010. The problem is I have little to no clue how use them and I don't even know if I can just use agk as a source for threads... if so then how? I realize that most people use libraries for threads in C++, but I just really don't know what to do. Thank you for directing me to right area or helping me on threads, I will try to find a library that works well with agk.

hello there!

Threads can be nasty if you don't know what you're doing. What do you want to do?

I am very sorry for the long wait, but I was wanting to use threads to load things at the same time. A good example is for loading and deleting terrain after the render distance while moving and interacting with NPC in the local region. The loading/deleting could be one thread while interacting with NPC's could be another thread. Thank you for your help

Try boost::thread

Althrough, you may get errors while trying to load images and render things at the same time. Depends. It's worth a try through.

alternative you can do what you want not at all in once and
do only a part each frame and memory the state.

before
load trees 0-1000

after per frame
load trees 100
load trees 100
load trees 100
load trees 100
load trees 100
load trees 100
load trees 100
load trees 100
load trees 100

In computer science, a thread of execution is the smallest sequence of programmed instructions that can be managed independently by an operating system scheduler. A thread is a light-weight process. The implementation of threads and processes differs from one operating system to another, but inmost cases, a thread is contained inside a process.
