Normally I'm not a fan of coroutines in #lua, they tend to just make the code confusing. However, when you have a long, looping process that would normally be run in one go (pathfinding, recursive tree iteration, proc. gen., etc.), coroutines let you run it step-by-step *without changing the code structure at all*, which is awesome for debugging. Wherever you want to pause your loop, just add: if coroutine.running() then coroutine.yield(coroutine.running()) end ...
