The main idea is to loop function forever as fast as possible, something like:
function tick(){
callAnotherFunction();
// waiting for callAnotherFunction() to finish...
// ...oh it's done -> call tick() again
/* I tried to call tick(); before and after the closing curly bracket,
but on the inside it leads to "Maximum call stack size exceeded"-ERROR
and on the outside it never calls the function again. */
}
You are doing a recursive call, which the function tick() will keep calling itself forever and never get past this point, in order to do a recursion you need to define your exit condition, which whenever that condition is met the recursion stops and the actual execution begin:
var i=0;
function tick(){
callAnotherFunction();
waiting for callAnotherFunction() to finish...
...oh it's done -> call tick() again
If(i++ <100) // this our exit condition, recursion stops whenever i => 100
tick();
}
In jQ you could use when() and then()

Without jQ you could add 'return 1' at the end of Another function and then put this result to variable. Then it's gonna by an easy if(variable){tick();}
