I´m doing this cartridge to learn about LUA and Picotron

It´s the classic arcade Space Invaders (under construction)....nothing else to explain

Coroutines and HMTL export

Hello!

I am new at Picotron and I´m studying the system and LUA language to enjoy it!
From now, I love it an it´s fun: very nice work!

I have a problem with coroutines and HTML version: in HTML version the executuion freezes (a loop with a yield inside) or the coroutines dont have any effect

Also, in HTML, time-dependant actions aren´t as accurate as in "cartridge" execution (I´m talking about changing Pan of a sound frame to frame, as the sound-emitter changes it position)

I don´t know if this is a normal behaviour or if it is a bug...I understand that HTML "player" or interpreter isn´t as powerful as the Picotron System

I´ll put here and example

function _draw()
	cls()
	print_one_by_one("Hello world!!!!")
end

function print_one_by_one(string)
	for i=1, #string do
		print(string[i],8*(i-1),0,7)
		for j=1, 15 do
			yield()
		end
	end
	while(not btn(5)) do yield() end
	--...DO A RESTART ROUTINE
end

Thanks in advance!
