Event loops are heavily used — basically process input, process physics, process NPCs, render, repeat. (Likely not in that order — I'm not much of a game developer.) This is what the author lands on in the "Success" section. Speaking of event loops, I feel like they weren't discussed very much at all at my school, despite being at the core of not just most game engines, but most GUIs. I think if I'd embarked on writing a GUI system when I was fresh out of school, I'd probably have done it in a massively threaded way like the developer in the article started their game. An event loop would have somehow seemed too … primitive.
