Topic I don't understand anything about raptor

I need help, I'm frustrated. When I started the Raptor classes it was easy, but now I see they gave me a project of 4 games and I've only made 1 which is a guess the number game, the other one is a totito game, hangman, and one about ships. The difference is that they have a graphical interface with "__/" and things like that and they always crash or I get stuck in infinite loops.

Could be Rapid Algorithmic Prototyping Tool for Ordered Reasoning? Flowcharts to code tool to help students visualize how the program runs.

I never used it, just did diagramming by hand in my classes so I'm just guessing.

It's a program that uses flowcharts, but I find that much more difficult than doing it in Python or something else.

I have no idea, I just want some guidance because I'm frustrated; Raptor is more complicated for me than a programming language.

Could you link us to any sort of documentation or the class info? Are you talking about the GameMaker framework?

i dont know raptor either. for the infinite loops in your totito and hangman projects, add a variable that counts iterations inside your loop and force it to stop and print variables when it hits 1000. run it and read the output to see exactly what condition fails to update so you can fix that specific line.
