UML for Games

[blahblahblahh]

I also saw a project many years ago at university that had a source code editor very well integrated with flow-chart diagrams and stuff… you could flip between views effortlessly and they were always in sync. We need the UML version of that.

When you can type in a UML ‘diagram’ using source code very quickly it may be just as good if not better than sketching a diagram in the first place. Just write code for basic class structure and methods names… leave the core algorithms to be filled in later.

That’s what you used to be able to do with Fujaba v1 and v2 (hence the name ). They’ve got an alpha of v4 out now, and I tried it last week - basically the UI’s a little nicer, although the “import classfiles” function has disappeared from the menu and been replaced with a tiny button (Which is appalling UI design, but that’s the problem with academic software I guess ). Unfortunately, the memory requirements have also increased - and my dev PC only has 256 Mb RAM, most of which gets taken by linux so I haven’t been able to load any significantly large projects yet.

Dont know if this helps but I did see some software a while ago that could take a digicam picture of a white board and trun it into a nice diagram, account for the angle it was taken at remove shadows etc.

I don’t know if it’s any good but I found the link…
