(solved) Disclaimer: I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to the parallel api.
Okay, so. Basically what I'm trying to do is keep a clock running in my OS.
I set the clock position based on what "state" the OS is in. As in, if the OS is in "home", then the clock would be in 1,1. If that makes sense.
But if I call the clock to render in the same function as the screen to update where the user clicked, it will pause the clock updating.
And if I use the parallel API, I run into the issue where it just simply does not work.
The screen will allow one click, no more.
The clock will refresh once, no more.
So I'm wondering, what would be a possible solution?
Code
max_x = 26
min_x = 1
max_y = 20
min_y = 1
locked = true
quit = false
function time()
if locked then
edge.xtime(13,7)
term.setTextColor(colors.black)
edge.cprint("Day "..os.day(),8 )
sleep(0.8)
end
if not locked then
edge.xtime(1,1)
sleep(0.8)
end
if quit then
return true
end
end
local function home()
locked = false
shell.run("clear")
end
local function keydet()
local event, key = os.pullEvent("key")
if key == keys.tab and locked == false then
locked = true
shell.run("clear")
parallel.waitForAny(time, lockscreen)
end
end
local function lockscreen()
term.setTextColor(colors.black)
edge.cprint("locked",19)
local event, button, x, y = os.pullEvent("mouse_click")
if button == 1 then
parallel.waitForAll(home,keydet)
end
if quit then
os.shutdown()
end
end
function start()
--edge.render(1,26,1,20,colors.white,colors.white,"")
edge.xprint("PockeOS.", 13 - string.len("PockeOS.") / 2, 10,colors.red)
term.setTextColor(colors.black)
sleep(5)
shell.run("clear")
while(true) do
parallel.waitForAny(time, lockscreen)
if quit then
break
end
end
end
term.setBackgroundColor(colors.white)
term.setTextColor(colors.black)
shell.run("clear")
start()
0
