Each aspect of the game is checked in the main loop - you'll find that games are really the only kind of application that reside in a loop to begin with, else they are timer based (but so is windows) so to answer your question (and take what was said above) the loop goes really really fast so it seems that many things are happening at once when they are actually not...then there is threading that is a whole other issue.
