Here is how every computer on earth works, even those using Java.
It's also how DNA works. I just saved you 200 grand in ruinous student
loans  ;')

Computer Science in six lines:

Read serial input device:
    Until:
        if serial input device says Stop, stop
        do something or go somewhere else on serial input, as instructed
        advance serial input one frame and read serial input device
    repeat:

The 'do something' part can involve complications.
