simultanious background/foreground functions?
How do you get a function to run in the background, while anouther function runs in the foreground? Like for example a timer (but not exclusivly a timer).

You will need to look into threads which is a big topic so I'm not going to attempt to write anything about it here just point you in the direction of our friend google. The main library for getting it to work is pthreads as a starting point.
