RESEARCH ASSIGNMENT: UNDERSTANDING THE FLOWGRAPH EDITOR



I am not a programmer, this is why I found the Sandbox2 Flowgraph editor a little hard to get my head around. The procedural programming thinking required to use the Flowgraph editor can be a little difficult to understand at first. Having to understand the Flowgraph editor itself at the same time didn't simplify the learning process for me. In fact, I'm still having trouble understanding the basics (like when is it best to assign a flowgraph to a entity or just create a general flowgraph!?). Something that has come to my attention is that no reasonable video tutorial exists to  cover the basics of the flowgraph editor. Although information regarding the topic is available on the internet, it is in various sources and not sometimes a bit difficult to follow.

Therefore for the Research Assignment I intend to cover the basics of the flowgraph editor, how to best configure the flowgraph editor, what it can be used for and explain some basic nodes and how to use them to create useful flowgraphs. I will then explain the best sources to learn more about the flowgraph editor.

Tutorial Topics:
a) Features of the Flowgraph editor
b) How to create a Flowgraph
c) Basic Nodes
d) Understanding the logic behind flowgraphs
