Hana

Hana is an execution framework intended as a temporary solution for scheduling coroutines in Lune.

Hana is built similarly to how Roblox's coroutine scheduler work as Hana acts as the main loop, so its start function (require("src/init")) is a yielding operation.

Hana works by searching for .work.luaus in a directory which returns a function that expects a task library. Hana itself is composed of two parts, the first is a scheduler and a module importer, while the second is a coroutine yielding utility that mimic Roblox's task library.

Keep in mind that once the scheduler starts running, it will yield the calling coroutine until all imported coroutines + coroutines that were created during execution finish execution. As such, treat the calling coroutine (or file) as a starter function that purely starts the scheduling + all other pre/post execution.

Name

The "Hana" name is actually a Hawaiian word which means Work, hence the primitives of Hana are called "Workables"!

Usage

Currently there is no documentation, though the source code is simple enough so go take a look at it.

Notes

• Once a coroutine yields, it will only resume again in the next frame.
• Lune V0.0.3+ is supported for running Hana.
• The Lune project might potentially implement and expose a custom task library similar to Roblox's, which would be used for scheduling coroutines, until then, this library is useful!
• You can look both at the .lune and test dirs for examples.
