[Question] Another dumb question

So, I'm trying to make meteor using this code (worldh is world height):

if (b == 204)
{
 for (int i = 0; i < worldh - y; ++i)
  {
   con.Send(editkey, 0, x, y + i + 1, 203);
   Thread.Sleep(10);
   con.Send(editkey, 0, x, y + i, 368);
   Thread.Sleep(10);
   con.Send(editkey, 0, x, y + i, 0);
   Thread.Sleep(10);
  }//for
}//if

I thought it works properly... until i placed more than 1 meteors.
The question is: how to make many meteors fall at the same time?

Re: [Question] Another dumb question

You can do this by multithreading.

Re: [Question] Another dumb question

async tasks might be a possible solution, too..

//TODO implement b, x, y, worldh etc.
static void Main(){
  Meteor();
  Meteor();
}
 static async void Meteor(){
  if (b == 204){
    for (int i = 0; i < worldh - y; ++i){
      con.Send(editkey, 0, x, y + i + 1, 203);
      await Task.Delay(10);
      con.Send(editkey, 0, x, y + i, 368);
      await Task.Delay(10);
      con.Send(editkey, 0, x, y + i, 0);
      await Task.Delay(10);
    }//for
  }//if
}

Note: I code in Vb.NET - can't gurantee this is even working and doing what you want..

Re: [Question] Another dumb question

async & await Should do fine.
Though, you can try using

ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(delegate{/*Do stuff.*/});

// Unless it's in a void, at which case you'd want to replace the delegate with the void's name.

ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(Meteor());

It's best to use async & await though, unless you have an old visual studio.
So mylo's code would do it.

Got any ideas for private bots and/or BAL bots?
