Well, you can't use that if you're own an hour bus ride. :?

But that sounds really interesting... I'm going to check it out. Is it hard to use?

funny thing is.. you actually can use/do it by hand. :) It's a GIANT help with designing code. At any level.. use-case, logic tree, code decision path, interaction mapping.. lots of great stuff.

Oh wow... I thought it was a program or something. I'll print out the specification and read it or something. ::Is excited::

Keep coding properly, once it becomes second nature, and it will, you will appreciate your hardwork when you become a more efficient programmer.

hey thanks alot guys ...

I will definately design ... but not with UML ... i hate it to be honest.

I usually design with my own method ... i have boxes to represent functions - data - and arrows to show how they interact ... similar to some other method surely - but i understand my one better.

But yeah i will keep ya'll updated as to how its going....

its nice to see people are actually interested in my project ... much appreciated!!
