For loops with Turboid loop

Simulating for loops without freezing the browser

The Turboid loop is an awesome feature of Turboid, as you can implement a loop like this one without freezing the browser:

	while(true){
		// Do something...
	}

... by simply using this short syntax instead of the a little bit long-winded and sometimes because of other reasons annoying window.setInterval()-function:

	loop(function(){
		// Do something...
	});

This loop feature is more powerful as it seems at the first glance (learn more in this article: "Real loops in JavaScript"). But it is not only a compensatory for while loops, but also for for loops. If you want to implement with loop() an alternative for a for loop like this one...

	for(var i = 0; i < 35; i++){
		alert(i);
	}

... then this is the loop() version of it:

	var i=0; loop(function(){
		alert(i);
	i++; }, 1, 35);

However it only works that way if the loop() call is part of a function. Otherwise the index should be an object property, but that is no big deal:

	obj = {}; 
					
	obj.i= 0; loop(function(){
		alert(obj.i);
	obj.i++; }, 1, 35);

Have fun!
