EXAMPLES

--
-- This is the recommended way of handling events
--
local running = true
while running do
    for e in SDL.pollEvent() do
        if e.type == SDL.event.Quit then
            running = false
        end
    end
    -- To avoid wasting processor time waiting for events by constantly spinning in a loop.
    -- The actual code may contain drawing the next frame here (or maybe at the beginning of the loop). Perhaps you will need a variable instead of a constant, or just use a timer.
