I was wondering if there was anyway that, using coroutines (possibly) I could pull events without stopping the main flow of the program? Specifically, update monitors with animations while also waiting for bundled cable updates and monitor touches. Could anyone help please?

Thanks!

function pullEvents()
        while true do
                event, etc1, etc2, etc3 = os.pullEvent()
                -- Do stuff with the events that get pulled.
        end
end

function updateDisplays()
        while true do
                -- Draw stuff on screens etc.
        end
end

parallel.waitForAny(pullEvents, updateDisplays)

Thanks for replying! I'll try this when I get home!
