SFML threads

[Cronnoc]

All i need to know is what a thread is and how to implement them into a program. (i don't have a particular program but i would still like to know).

A thread is a path of code that is run at the same time as your main program. Having multiple threads allows you to take advantage of multi-core processors by running two or more different things at once.

While the above idea is simple, it's nuanced with a LOT of ugly "gotchas". Sharing data between threads is very tricky and demands you be very careful or else you get ugly hard-to-find bugs.

Multithreading in C++ is definitely an advanced subject.
