Can anyone show me how I can continue to run things in the background whilst 'sleeping'?
I need my gameclock to continue to update even when a SLEEP command is encountered during my program.
I figured something like this would work (instead of SLEEP 5000)



But it doesn't! Help?!

Try swapping the UNTIL time = 5000 for UNTIL time => 5000. There's only a 1 millisecond window there, and its possible your programs time check is going from 4999 to 5001 and therefore missing the condition.
