AndEngine Game Loop. Where is it?
I have experience programming games with Cocos2d and Box2d. Now I am playing with AndEngine and I am a bit lost. This may sound like a silly question, but where is the AndEngine game loop? Where is the update () function that is usually found on other machines? I've gone through examples and I just can't seem to find it. I saw this example http://www.andengine.org/forums/development/where-is-the-game-loop-t12.html but it didn't help.
If you can shed some light on this, I would appreciate it.

// An easy way is to create a game loop using the onLoadScene method
public Scene onLoadScene() {
Scene scene = new Scene();
scene.registerUpdateHandler(new IUpdateHandler() {
public void reset() {
}
public void onUpdate(float pSecondsElapsed) {
//HERE IS THE GAME LOOP
}
});
return scene;
}

You can also implement the IUpdateHandler interface in your Activity class:
public class YourActivityClass extends BaseGameActivity implements IUpdateHandler
{
@Override
public void onUpdate(float pSecondsElapsed)
{
//Game loop
}
@Override
public void reset()
{
}
}
And register an update handler:
mEngine.registerUpdateHandler(this);
