Kotlin coroutine support #283

Closed ronjunevaldoz closed 4 years ago

ronjunevaldoz commented 4 years ago

Everything now is using kotlin+coroutine, which we could concurrently execute process.

Ashley is not thread safe and no plan to migrate to kotlin. You can implement some multi threading system in your code if needed but that's a highly edge case.

You might be interested in the Ktx async library, which provides coroutine support for libGDX. It allows coroutines to be used for asynchronous tasks and provides a main game thread dispatcher. There are no plans to convert any of libGDX to Kotlin, as that would break GWT and RoboVM compatibility, and I don't think the team wants to take on maintenance of Kotlin extensions.
