One label is special and indicates where state code should start executing; this one is called Begin. Let's take a look at a few things we can do with state code, labels, and latent functions.
At the bottom of our
Seekingstate, underneath all of the functions, but before the closing}symbol, let's write the following code:Begin: `log("Man I'm tired, I'm going to sleep."); Sleep(3.0); `log("French toast please!"); SomeOtherLabel: `log("You ever have a deja vu Joel?"); Sleep(3.0); GoTo('SomeOtherLabel');

This doesn't apply to latent functions, which won't stop other code from running while it's waiting on whatever function it's performing to finish.
After it's done sleeping, we log something else, then...
