Virtual Threading Concept

Would this be able to run my games on it? I don't have any For loops or While loops on them.

The point of this thread is moreso the concept and not my specific implementation of it. I don't exactly know all the ins-and-outs of SmileBASIC so my implementation is rather slow so games likely wouldn't run in it. It doesn't seem anyone else is interested in this concept, though, so maybe I'll improve upon my implementation and eventually publish it so there could at least be one example of this on this website.

I remember Jewel being notable for running Hotel Mario Video (Gone Wrong) and Super Parkour Jump Map 3 at the same time: https://smilebasicsource.com/page?pid=357 Actually many decent mock OS try to do this.

Ah okay, well, I was expecting it was done before. Thanks for the info.

Yooo don't delete your post though! I was just trying to add references other implementations. I'm pretty sure they aren't ideal yet either.

I can undelete your post if you want. It looks like it had a crazy amount of content on it; it should definitely be here!

Oh no I thought that would remove the thread, my post was about an idea that I thought people might not've implemented and it being already done pretty well kinda defeats the purpose of this whole thread lol I mean you can undelete it if you want but there's nothing of value in there. You guys should really not have a delete button if it doesn't actually delete things, it's really annoying.

Would you rather that a person has the ability to delete potentially thousands (literally) of posts just because they're the OP? I really don't think that's wise. For instance, we have this lovely Feature Requests thread with over 400 posts. If NeatNit just decided to randomly delete his post (along with the whole thread), that wouldn't exactly be fair, would it?

Yes. If you put in a delete button for the main thread, then that is the right of the poster and is understood by those who reply to the thread.

Hm, well... I didn't expect anyone to have such a drastic view, but.... ok then. I don't agree, so deletion works per-post. If you want a thread deleted, you can ask an admin.

I don't really view it as extreme. I use tons of forums and this is the first one I've ever used with such a strange feature. The closest I can think of similar to this is Reddit but they at least unlist the original thread if the body is deleted. But there should at least be a notification before you delete it saying "hey this won't actually unlist or remove the thread and will just lead to a super awkward conversation about you deleting the thread!" If I would've known that I wouldn't have done it.

That's true, I can put something that says you're only deleting the post. Or I can simply not put the delete button on the first post, since I figure most people want to do that anyway.

Either of those seem like good ideas. c:
