Event-driven style is not magic, and if you will to pay the price of 
some indirections, YOU CAN implement it yourself. You may also introduce 
"user events" not related to any hardware action, but which implement 
asynchronous loops.

This small program is a very primitive "planetary system", with looping 
and mouse/keyboard control based on "events". Alt-click adds a random 
planet, just click stops the motion. There is nothing more.

Good luck.
