When incorporating buttons into turing programs, why is it nessesary to add the:

loop
exit when GUI.ProcessEvent
end loop

why is that chunk of code nessesary for buttons to work?

Well, it doesn't have to be, if you make your own buttons.

all you need to make your own button is:

1. Mouse.Where (x, y, b) % X, Y, Mouse State
2. Co-ordinates (x1, y1, x2, y2) % Bottom Left to Top Right
3. Something to do when the User clicks Between your Co-ordinates

But to answer your question, it is what makes the button "press-able".

It basically handles all the work of checking if the button has been pressed, and responding if it has.
