	In Response To: Re: Jason Jones interview (M-Class) Q. What's the interrupt? is that the frame update or what? A. No, the frame update is every 1/30th of a second. The state of the world is updated from the interrupt. Q. So the interrupt handles updating the parameters in the big data block that represents the world? A. It checks the player's keyboard for keystrokes and checks the network. Stuff like that. Q. Do you have a really complex event loop that primarily handles updates and everthing else is sort of subsidiary of that? A. Yes. The complex loop has to update everything. It lets the monsters move. It moves all the bullets, and it updates all the explosions. It lets all the players move according to the commands they've given, if any. By complex I mean it does a whole lot of work. Everything that has to do anything in Marathon has to do it every 30 of a second. So we do have a big loop that basically goes out and handles all of that.
