I've been thinking of how to go about writing the real time strategy
game I proposed. Since it's a real time game, it will need some form of
multitasking. I've written cooperative multitasking libraries for
Euphoria, but this might be a problem when it comes to key presses,
mouse events, and network communications - especially the latter. I have
yet to figure out how to just read data from a socket without blocking
on either Windows or Linux. In winsock.e, I know there's the async
socket routines, but that uses callbacks, and since Euphoria is
non-reentrant, I don't know how to implement callbacks and constantly
run some code. If anyone has any insights for this, they would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff Fielding

What about spawning hidden interactive processes to handle them?
