Hay guys,

Ok, When I'm working on something I start of writting some logic on paper.
Then i code it, compile it until the syntax is fixed,  then if I have logic
errors I define something like this

#define DEBUG_HEAD_TEXTURE( x )  printf( x )
then I use it  like this

DEBUG_HEAD_TEXTURE( ("u0 = %d\n",u0) );

when it's doing what its surposed to, i change the define to this
#define DEBUG_HEAD_TEXTURE( x )    //  printf( x )

and then i copy the whole directory and call it something like 'v51 head
textures completed'.

If I get stuck or I have completly killed the program , I rename the directory
to 'v51 head textures dead'
and copy the previous one.

This has saved my project many times.

I like the idea of using Rational Rose but I have the design in my head and it's
always changing.
I will do this when the design is more solid.

Well that's what I do ..... by the way  I got

#define DEBUG_HEAD_TEXTURE( x )  printf( x )

from someone's yaroze code and haven't stopped using it.

cheers
