- * Well, not really. But you should call glk_tick() every so often, just in
- * case. It may be necessary to yield time to other applications in a
- * cooperative-multitasking OS, or to check for player interrupts in an infinite
- * loop.
- *
- * This call is fast; in fact, on average, it does nothing at all. So you can
- * call it often. (In a virtual machine interpreter, once per opcode is
- * appropriate. In a program with lots of computation, pick a comparable rate.)

+ * system and checking for interrupts. glk_tick() should be called every so
+ * often when there is a long interval between calls of glk_select() or
+ * glk_select_poll(). This call is fast; in fact, on average, it does nothing at
+ * all. So you can call it often.

* glk_tick() does not try to update the screen, or check for player input, or

- * VM interpreter, where the VM code might contain an infinite loop, this is
- * critical. In a C program, you can often eyeball it.

+ * <para>Captious critics have pointed out that in the sample program
+ * <filename>model.c</filename>, I do not call glk_tick() at all. This is
+ * because <filename>model.c</filename> has no heavy loops. It does a bit of
+ * work for each command, and then cycles back to the top of the event loop.
+ * The glk_select() call, of course, blocks waiting for input, so it does all
+ * the yielding and interrupt-checking one could imagine.
