Who thought philosophy would be so deadly.
This project is all about the dining philosophers problem and the basics of threading a process. Threads, mutexes and whatnot. One or more philosophers are sitting at a round table doing one of three things: eating, thinking, or sleeping.
The philosophers sit at a circular table with a big 'ol bowl of spaghetti in the center. There are the same number of forks on the table as there are philosophers. A philosopher needs two forks to eat. Whenever a philosopher is done eating, he will drop his forks and start sleeping. When a philosopher is done sleeping, he will start thinking. The simulation stops when a philosopher dies.
