the important part is not to discribe every single routine, but to start with
a general skeleton that has the basic functions and add more to it as it goes
along. Then, since you not trying to focus on as large an area, you'll get a
better understanding of how the whole thing will work together.

well, i was thinking mostly of a writen language, but translated to english
when spoken.

hmm, when I went to do the dyndoom qb to baja I was figuring that I was gonna
take all the complex screens and combine them into a data file (similar to
a wad file) and then just grab chunks of the file and send it to the screen to
make up the image...
Also I am sure that it will be difficult for me to accually take the time to
write the flowchart and document my ideas, but I guess if I want quality then
I will need to spend a little extra time on it...
