Software or other way to mock-up my idea of game movement (programming.dev)
 

I'm starting to plan what would be my first game. I have a general idea of the movement system I want, but I'm unsure if it will work as I expect it.

Is there any software where I can make a sort of animated mock-up of what I have in mind?

Alternatively, how is this typically addressed in game development?

Thank you!

You might as well timestamp it in c/[email protected]

I think this timestamp-as-a-boolean is a good idea if the field is always going to be interpreted as either True or False and nothing more. If the field in question allows for a 3rd (uncertain) value, then using a timestamp would be extremely confusing.

Would you be so kind as to recommend some resources about caching? I've read the basics, but have yet to dive deep on it
