Design, design, and then ... design

Today, I confirmed what all programming books mention.   Design is key within programming process.   Of course I know this, with +12 year of experience as a developer, I really know, but sometimes we tend to forget this important phase.

Creating a game, is not different of application creation, you need to design first, this will save you a lot of work and improve development performance.

Thats way it is important to remember, at the beginning, paper and pen, is better than laptop and mouse.

Cheers !!
