GM Waiter

Waiter is a GameMaker library for handling long-running tasks and background processing. It features:

• a base constructor for the long-running tasks with methods for running processing steps in batches and tracking their status and progress
• a task queue structure for running multiple tasks according to their priorities on demand

The following files are available:

• Waiter GameMaker package - the importable package with all the tasks-related functionality
