WIP: Mostly working version that uses the eventqueue

We've mostly got this working. Events get executed in the array of
events. We don't use setTimeout anymore thankfully. I'm not in love with
this system, it still isn't straight forward about what events happen
where, but I do at least now have an ability to better control the flow.
