run 2 pices of code at the same time

i am making an os i want it to show the logo and sleep(2) then go to the next screen how do i make it run alot of code making functions while it is dislpaying the logo for 2 seconds

Lua doesn't allow for actual multitasking, but, using the parallel API, you can switch between two (or more) functions

and, it will be at least two seconds, but you can't limit it to at most two seconds

local dispLogo = function()
-- code to display logo
sleep(2)
-- code to run next program
end
local loadShellDrivers = function()
local driver1 = function(...)
  -- code
end
local driver2 = function(...)
  -- code
end
local driver3 = function(...)
  -- code
end
end
parallel.waitForAll(dispLogo,loadShellDrivers)

good luck to you and your shell program

Well, unlazy yourself. Next time, it'll involve a warning.

Recursing a warning somehow seems very ominous.
