I make some small program to make dots. Many of them.
I have a Generator which generates dots in a loop:
//reprat until all dots in frame
while !newDots.isEmpty {
virginDots = []
for newDot in newDots {
autoreleasepool{
virginDots.append(
contentsOf: newDot.addDots(in: size, allDots: &result, inSomeWay))
}
newDots = virginDots
}
counter += 1
print ("\(result.count) dots in \(counter) grnerations")
}
Sometimes this loop needs hours/days to finish (depend of inSomeWay settings), so it would be very nice to send partial result to a View, and/or if result is not satisfying — break this loop and start over.
My understanding of Tasks and Concurrency became worse each time I try to understand it, maybe it's my age, maybe language barier. For now, Button with {Task {...}} action doesn't removed Rainbow Wheel from my screen. Killing an app is wrong because killing is wrong.
How to deal with it?
