Hey guys,

Does someone know of any flowchart creating programs that are flexible, easy to use, effective?

Any apps that are cheap or cheap as free would be nice also...

Hey,

I use this program myself. It's worth it, just to stay organised and I can't read my own hand writting.

Sample: (not programming related, but an example of output quality)

For as long as I have been here I have never heard anyone talk about flowcharts - then suddenly someone did just that in another thread, and others posted links to some free stuff - then suddenly again, AB posted this question.... eerie!

(Is the Spooky behind all this eerieness?? )

Yeah, I started a thread suggesting that newcommers to darkbasic and/or programming use flowcharts. It's a nice logical and visual map of what your program is going to do. Even if you're experienced, it's a good habbit to use flowcharts. I like them, they work for me and help me stay organised and on track.

If someone was smart, they'd suggest flowchart design feature built into the ide. There are even programs out there that convert source code to flowcharts. That's kind of neat.

Maybe someone will use darkbasic pro or darkbasic to program a flowchart application and distribute it to the community as a development aid? Hey, there's a peachy thought.

There are alot of free programs out there, but this is the one I used. It's worth it. It has really nice customisable output.

They should incorporate flowcharts into programming languages. Part of the graphic interface. Yo know how easy it would be to find your subroutines just by clicking on one of those boxes. Also, it would be easier to show your code to other people, by showing them the flowchart first.
