The interpreter cycle in AGI works thusly:

                         +---------------------------+
                         |      1. delay time        |
                         +---------------------------+
                                       |
                                       V
                         +----------------------------+
                         |2. clear the keyboard buffer|
                         +----------------------------+
                                       |
                                       V
                         +---------------------------+
                         |      Flag (2) - > 0       |
                         |      Flag (4) - > 0       |
                         +---------------------------+
                                       |
                                       V
                    +-------------------------------------+
                    | 3. poll keyboard and joystick       |
                    +-------------------------------------+
                                       |
                                       V
                    +-------------------------------------+
                    | If the current mode is              |
                    | - program_control, the direction of |
                    |   Ego motion <-- var(6).            |
                    | - player.control, var (6) --> dir.  |
                    |   of Ego motion.                    |
                    +-------------------------------------+
                                       |
                                       V
    +---------------------------------------------------------------+
    | For all objects for which command animate.obj, start_update   |
    | and draw were carried out, the recalculation of the direction |
    | of movement is performed.                                     |
    +---------------------------------------------------------------+

                                       V
    +---------------------------------------------------------------+
    | If the score has changed (var (3)) or the sound has been      |
    | turned on or off (Flag (9)), the status line is updated.      |
