Sonic Pi - Lesson 5

Lesson Objectives

• Know that computers can multitask (do many things at once).
• Understand that a simple program has one flow of control; in other words, it has one thread of execution. Programs can, however, have multiple such threads.
• Be able to program multiple threads that work at the same time (concurrently).

Lesson Overview

1. Try out the following code:
2. in_thread do 10.times do play 60 sleep 0.25 end end play 60 sleep 0.5 play 62 sleep 0.5 play 64 sleep 0.5 play 65 sleep 0.5 play 67 sleep 0.5 play 69 sleep 0.25 play 72
3. The code within the in_thread block gets its own control flow, and therefore runs at the same time as the play &sleep code below.
