I had totally misunderstood what you meant by a tick calendar..  I
had assumed you meant something like a linked list of tick objects..
each tick object would have a time stamp of when to go off and a
pointer to which item needs the tick..  at each game loop (( or
however often you wished )) you could just cycle through the tick
list and any with a time stamp equal to or older than 'now' would
get processed and the object would the reschedule its next tick.

Ok seems like a lot of assumptions but my mind wanders a bit when in
lack of explicit details =-)

Any opinions on how well this idea would work ?
