In BlitzPlus (WaitEvent doesn't apply to Blitz3D), I use WaitEvent exclusively. The only reason I can see not using it is for backwards compatibility with Blitz2D.

You are correct in your other assumptions.

I usually start with a loop like this:

CreateTimer(60)
InitGui()
InitGame()

Repeat
	Select WaitEvent()
		Case $803 : End
		; other cases here (input, etc)
		Case $4001
			Logic()
			Update()
			Render()
	End Select
Forever

You can even enclose the Select WaitEvent() block in a Select GameState block, along with more Select WaitEvent() blocks for other states.
