Force a program (video game) to continue working when minimized?

1

I play a video game (Stronghold Crusader) and when I minimize it, it pauses. I mean when I maximize it again, I continue from where I left.

For some minutes, you're just doing nothing (maybe waiting for some resources to be collected). I want in these minutes to minimize it and maybe check the Facebook or whatever and let it continues.

So, is there a way (a script or anything) to force the game to continue working even when I minimize it?

Why not just not minimize it and move it to the corner of a screen so only a tiny bit shows up? – Scott Chamberlain – 2017-02-24T21:55:55.697

Technically speaking, I can't minimize it. I just press win key or Alt + Tab – AhmedWas – 2017-02-24T21:58:43.480

It is trivial to pause your main thread as a programming, if the application's window isn't the current widow which has focus, so if the application doesn't support window mode you are out luck because there isn't a way around that trivial amount of code – Ramhound – 2017-02-24T22:42:44.657
