Yah, I hate to sound like a broken record, but don't fork.

Have a loop in the mainline that:

1. gets movement/input from the user,
2. Processes all data, (move the sprites locations, etc)
3. Draw everything to screen

Yah, the think about forking is that processes don't all run at the same speed/time. You don't know what to expect. It's easier to have them in a main loop to ensure that they will run in the same order everytime.
