Yes, and it is the case with most libraries for GUI development
e.g. gtk, Java, but I'm sure Windows programming in C++ is similar.
The software engine takes control and you always have some sort of
callback mechanism for interacting with the user.  In Swarm, this
goes all into a scheduler.

what about fun?  with Swarm you can build your own using the existent
Obj-C classes, or a Java window that pops up, after one has pressed
the original start button.
