Re: [GD-General] worker threads, level loading and progress bars

[<cas...@ya...>]

Hmm... it seems to my now, that the problem with the multiple threads could
be easily solved.

The only OpenGL operation performed by the worker thread is to upload
textures, so my texture manager could have a list of textures waiting to be
uploaded, and I could process them on each game loop.

Anyway, I still would like to hear how others have solve this problem.
