The entire game is running inside a loop. What I'm looking for is a way to use that loop. An event would be handy, such as 'onGameLoop' or something. That way there would be no need to use timeouts at all, or any seperate loop. It'd just be part of the core loop.

Maybe this should now be a Future Improvement request? I'm still looking for someone to shoot me down with "You're completely wrong, timeouts are essentially this 'register a hook with the game loop'".
