Multithreading

Rust is famous for its safe and easy way to write multithreaded programs. We don't need this program to be multithreaded yet, but it comes with a handy sleep mode, that we need.

For the following code examples, we need to bring the thread and time modules in scope at the top of our file:

#![allow(unused_variables)]
fn main() {
use std::thread;
use std::time;
}

To spawn a thread, add these lines before 'game:

#![allow(unused_variables)]
fn main() {
thread::spawn(move || {
    // some work here
});
}

Inside, at the end of 'game, add this line:

#![allow(unused_variables)]
fn main() {
thread::sleep(time::Duration::from_millis(800));
}

'game will now sleep 800 milliseconds, before starting over.
