BEGIN GAMELOOP

Define the starting point of a game loop. A game loop is nothing more than an implicit loop, within which all the logic of the program (or of the game) runs. The end point of a game loop can correspond to the end of the program or to the END GAMELOOP statement.

In some platforms, it will implictly "sync" the activity with the vertical blank, so the action inside the loop should be executed in a single "frame" of game.
