What does the loop do? Play music? |

I am trying to make a game with a traffic light and I loop drawing over the different colour lights with a brighter colour. I want this to happen while using Mouse.Where to move an object. |

just have both running in the same loop. The computer runs fast enough that concurrency seems to be happening, so you will be good. |

I have a few seconds of delay as well so it will only move my object once every few seconds |

it would help to see a bit of code so we can provide suggestions to you. |

Here is a bit of the code: procedure trafficlight loop drawfillbox (10, 10, 100, 160, yellow) drawfilloval (55, 135, 20, 20, black) drawfilloval (55, 85, 20, 20, black) drawfilloval (55, 35, 20, 20, brightgreen) delay (7000) drawfilloval (55, 135, 20, 20, black) drawfilloval (55, 85, 20, 20, 43) drawfilloval (55, 35, 20, 20, black) delay (2000) drawfilloval (55, 135, 20, 20, brightred) drawfilloval (55, 85, 20, 20, black) drawfilloval (55, 35, 20, 20, black) delay (5000) end loop end trafficlight var x, y, button : int Mouse.Where (x, y, button) drawfillbox (x - 15, y + 15, x + 15, y - 15, blue) trafficlight |

You should use Time.Elapsed to figure out when your should change lights. That way you can incorperate that into your main loop. |
