How to make my program refresh itself constantly

Hey, I have a question. As it says in the title… Im making my game to be better, and to do that I wanted to implement a way to make the game refresh itself without the character actually doing anything. Like now the game only refreshes when a key is pressed. I wanted to make it to where it refreshes or buffers, automatically without the player doing anything. This would also support the idea of having mobs and animated pixels/moving pixels

If you want I can post the code, but im not going to unless necessary because its a secret project. So if I did need to post the code, I would probably only post the part that im having trouble with or… yeah





Thanks in advance

Take a look at the examples for os.startTimer().

With timers: you basically wait for an event. If the timer comes first, you handle the timer, else, you cancel the timer and handle.other input.

Im looking at the wiki page for it… this actually might help. Now just to see how to implement it into the code. Thanks! I appreciate it :D/>
