I wrote a texture loading class for my current project that sits in
a separate thread, loading textures (duh). The main application
sends a request for a new texture, I lock the queue, push the
texture request onto the end, and unlock the queue. Meanwhile, the
texture loader loops round and round, finds the next texture to
load, loads it, removes it from the queue, and moves onto the next...
Today I started writing some code to queue up requests to send off
to Amazon, and it occurred to me that I was writing pretty much the
same code as my texture loader, and it must be a pretty common
thing - there are uses for procedures like this all over the place.
So, I was wondering if there was a generic Cocoa class that already
existed that I should be using... I've been searching the docs
without finding anything, but I've duplicated whole swaths of pre-
existing Cocoa code before, so was wondering if I'd missed anything.
It's not a class to do it, but there's a little discussion about this
kind of thing at <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/
