EventLoop

A summary for Event Loop
A BYONDscape Classic! If you want to build a world where things can happen on their own, without waiting for a player to flip a switch or step on a bear trap or something along those lines, you need to add a continuous loop that will keep checking to see when the stars are right. It's not terribly hard to "roll your own," but EventLoop spares you the effort, and gives you the benefit of working with a tested library by one of BYOND's most expert programmers. -- Gughunter

A very nice little package. Worth looking at even if you've already got your own system doing the job.
