Lol...my goodness... I am just using this as a learning exercise, I do not need to be lectured about how to write a game loop... I said obviously since that was my original request, I am only asking to learn clojure a little better. I could just drop into java and write a serial loop that does this really fast but I don't care about that; also, telling me how something was done on an 8-bit computer is about as relevant as explaining to me the intricate biological reactions involved in elephant defecation.
