Sorry for my late reply (unexpected stuff :(

Won't I get into trouble when I keep everything in one thread and a 
screen-update takes longer than one millisecond?
That way I could lose a loop and I really need all 1000 of them at the 
correct time.

I thought that if I were to put the gfx in a different thread I could 
guarantee my mainloop.
making the gfx thread idle and having some kind of thread-sleep of 20ms 
every loop.

Or am I just being naive :)
