Multithreaded resource loading

I tried your demo and it works. I assume that the music stopping when switching to different windows is intentional?

My PC is:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
CPU: Athlon II X2 240
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD4850 512MB

Yes, and it must continue playing after returning the focus to demo.

It continues playing.

I also tried it on another PC, at my work.
OS: Windows XP Professional SP3
CPU: Intel Pentium Dual E2200
GPU: Intel 82945G (i945G) integrated

It worked on that PC too. If it works on the Intel card with shoddy OpenGL drivers, it should work anywhere.

Well I gat back from work and gave it a run. For the most part it runs just fine, graphics display and the sound clip plays too without any popup errors. However the one bug I found was that most of the faces were showing a block of glitchy and random static instead of their respective sprite. Here is a couple of screenies to show basically what it was doing.

Go ahead and send me an update or tweaked version if you like. I can be your 'real test run' on the current iMacs if you like.

My system specs are:

CPU: Intel Core i7 (Quad Core)
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4850
Screen Res: 2560 x 1440 (27" screen)
RAM: 4GB DDR3
OS: Mac OS X 10.6.4

I've got the same problem WILL does when running the application on my MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz, NVidia GeForce 9400 graphics card and 4 GB DDR3 RAM).
Some sprites seem that they are not loaded correctly which seems to be always different sprites when re-running the application.

Just a heads up, I ran it again (twice; ran it, Command-Q, ran it) just now out of curiosity and now ALL the images (including the glowy ZenGL image) except for the speaker and the x button and the label for the text shows some form of glitchy garble.

Tanks for tests. Seems I found the bug When the second thread loading texture to videocard(glTexImage2D) in first I'm tried to do glBindTexture. Now I changed something in my library, and it should work correctly(anyway now it work's correctly in my VirtualBox ). I will update demo soon.
