You should take a look at sched.e 
in euphoria\demo\langwar. It manages several
independent "tasks" using cooperative multitasking.
A centralized scheduler maintains a list of tasks (procedures)
along with the next time that they should be activated.
Even when a phasor is quickly drawn across the screen,
there's an opening every .01 seconds for another task
to get in and do something. Occasionally you'll see
multiple phasors or torpedos drawn simultaneously,
along with a planet exploding, the "Euphoria" ship moving etc.
