Anyone here use flow charting programs and if so, which ones?

Making a cool sig is just too much pressure for me right now.

A program that creates flow charts, or a program that uses flow charts as it's interface? I'm just starting with a program called Labview, which uses a flow chart system as it's programming interface to create applications.

Labview is cool. Kinda scary.

No, I mean using a program to make flow charts to plan your game flow and also to chart your code.

I'm looking at SmartDraw but it's way too expensive.

'Openmind' by Matchware is designed for that kind of thing - but it ain't cheap. I tend to agree with the winch.

I'm new to programing but try to use pen and paper flow charts to help with my programing. I found this tutorial on designing programs with flow charts useful.

Hope it helps,

Thanks for the link to the tutorial.

I've been using pen and paper but, I don't know about you guys, but around here paper seems to form into small lumps of Clutter. Then once you have Clutter growing, if you don't watch out, localized Messes seem to grow in the corners. And before you know it, full grown piles of Trash are everywhere.

It ends up with your wife closing the computer room door whenever company comes over and then it's only one wrong word before you have the dreaded Household Friction. Never a good thing.

I prefer to keep all my junque in the computer where no one will ever find it.

So what you really need, is a bin, or as you Yanks say, a trash can! (For the paper I mean - not for the wife ).
