Cloning and other parallel scripts

[BookOwl]

I've been thinking about how to add cloning to Slither, and this is what I came up with:
We would replace

with clone = sprite.clone(), and

with

@sprite.whenIStartAsAClone
def cloned(clone):
     # clone is the new clone of sprite
     pass

@Tymewalk, what do you think?

How would we handle the events going in parallel?

[BookOwl]

We could use yield to handle pausing the functions, which would turn this problem into running coroutines...

If we decide to go that route, we could replace slither.runMainLoop(framefunc) with

@slither.whenGFClicked
def started():
    # This would be a coroutine with yield
    ...

slither.start()

and we could also add broadcasts very similarly.

After the v0.4.0 PRs get merged, I'll try making a branch that implements this idea. It would be a big, breaking change though.

(This project lives in the shadowy place between lots of activity and nothing. 😛)

@BookOwl Any chance that it would break older projects (not that there's very many of them)?
