Best strategy for getting unstuck?
Week 17 Group Rant

I usually start going through the code and as I do I draw (connected) shapes for every part of the code, as I do I add "features" to the shapes (little spikes, give them stripes etc) that way I'm able to "see" what is missing and how the shapes should interact

this might be a bit weird to explain but it helped me a lot to understand what the code is doing and get it rolling again

    Sounds interesting actually, have never seen someone work like this but I can see how it helps you. Maybe I'll try it out next time I'm stuck :)

    Better than jumping straight onto breakpoints. Will try do it this way from now on.
    But wouldn't it be great if the code is refactored upfront.

    wow, didnt thought it will get this much attention.

    I'll try to show you how this looks the next time i'm stuck. Or maybe i can find some old debug-drawings so you dont have to wait that long :)
