[Coco] noob question

[Randy Weaver]

I'm used to coding in c#... an event driven language.

 

Actions are hooked to events that "raise" a function I wrote to do
something.

 

I'm trying to wrap my head around how you would achieve similar behavior on
a coco.

 

I suppose a loop that kept polling for statuses that I'm interested in.

 

IRQs are interesting too but do they fire 60 times a second?  And what
happens when my check doesn't complete in 1/60th of a second. does it fire
again?

 

Guess I'm trying to get the basics here.

 

Thanks!

Randy
