[code, beginner] The Game Loop

I get a dead link for the article.

Fixed.

Interesting. Good intermediate-level article, although I'd prefer it without the expletives.

There appear to be three hyperlinks wedged against the left-hand margin about a third of the way down the article. I'm not sure what these are for as the links give 404s. I suspect that these are criticisms of other articles judging by the URLs.

I do have some quibbles regarding the sample code. Specifically:

1. It is uncommented.

2. The final example is not only uncommented, but makes no sense without an explanation of the constant "GAMETICKS", which is not defined or mentioned anywhere in the sample code or in the surrounding text.

While a seasoned veteran will be able to work out _why_ this game loop construct works, the target audience is likely to require further guidance and explanation.

This is, I think, a flaw in the article that needs to be addressed before it is taken further.
