Well, sort of. If you were thinking of "Events" like the GUI event
queue, yeah, that's wrong, but he was probably aiming more for the
"CreateEvent/SetEvent/etc" Win32 APIs...and there IS a relationship there.
Here's way more information than you probably wanted about how POSIX
condition variables (which is what SDL is mirroring) map to Win32 APIs:
