How to show repeated graphics as program runs

I am writing a program to run the prisoners dilemma game. The idea is to run many iterations, selecting the best players. I would like to use a graphics figure to show the result of a series of games, then continue running while the figure is still displayed, then show the results of the next series of games when they are completed and so on.

When I have code written in the program to display the results, the program continues to run but the figure does not get get displayed. If I click on the tab (? correct term) at the bottom of the screen to show the figure, the program stops running.

Any suggestions?

After you have completed one set of updates and want the changes displayed on the screen, insert the command

drawnow()

Thanks; I also used waitforbuttonpress which makes it go nicely.
