Question

I was looking for a way to pause my program to allow the user to read before it closes but the function (os.sleep(timeSeconds)) doesn’t exist apparently. Anyone know a workaround?

Answer 1

You could make use of os.clock() and os.time(). Ex:

function sleep(n)
  local t = os.clock()
  while os.clock() - t <= n do
    -- nothing
  end
end

n is in seconds. Feel free to make the os.time() version.
