How to read the funny source code
For developers interested in reading the source code,
Here is a flowchart (.png, .svg, or .graphml) that has recorded key steps of the program.
The flowchart is produced using free graph editor yEd.
If you want to copy the text in the graph, it's recommended to download the .svg file and open it locally in your browser. (For security reason, Github has disabled rendering of SVG images on the page.)
The meaning of the shapes in the flowchart should be straightforward.
One thing worth mentioning is isosceles trapezium means sub-steps.
The most useful feature of the flowchart is, for each step in it,
there is a 7-character ID.
This ID can be used to locate (by text searching) the code that implements a step.
This mechanism has two merits:
- It has provided precise (locating precision is line-level) and fast (text searching is fast) mapping from doc to code, which is very handy for non-trivial project.
Without it you have to rely on developers' memory to recall the code locations (Will you recall them after several months, precise and fast?).
- It has provided precise (unique ID) and concise (7-character long) names for each steps of a program, which is very handy for communicating between members of a development team.
Without it describing some steps of a program between team members tends to be unclear.
