I don't have too much expereince with event driven systems (still haven't
decided which way I'm gonna go with my system, but it will probably be event
driven), but my first impulse would be to have the system drop an event in the
queue which, when it ripens, would check for any player I/O and then drop
"itself" back in the queue to go off at some reasonable interval later (every
second - 1/2 second? whatever). Essentially an infinite polling loop done
with events.
probably want one of those events for each socket connected so people's
commands don't always go off at the same time.
