How do you code ??

[dal]

Hi all, I was just wondering when you guys have a project how do you go about coding. Do you put it all out on flow charts first then code from that or do you just basically start coding from scratch.
I've got a project of my own (coding a simple(ish) game) & I just started coding from scratch, which has been ok but now my project has got a bit more complex It's becoming quite time consuming putting things right when things don't work as intended.

I'm thinking I might be better off printing it out on a flow chart and re writing it (well some of it).

Quite a bit of stuff mentioned here I've never heard of, I had a look at TDD and it seems a bit beyond me but having said that I've had a few ideas to break my code down into more manageable chunks which will help a great deal. My approach to coding has been to just get it working then as far as I'm concerned it's done, move on to next bit. I even wrote some code that I knew would make things more complicated in the long run but it worked so I left it at that, now it has bitten me on the backside. Time to start rewriting.
Going by your replies I take it you guys code for a living ?
