Code Framework

The final preparation step is something that I like to call code framework. This is where you lay out your blank source code modules and fill them with comments detailing the routines that will go into them and the basic idea behind how they operate. If you think you are perfect and have gotten every detail in your design document then you can probably skip this step. But, for those of you like me, who are cautious, then give this phase a whirl. It helps you see how all of the pieces will fit together and more importantly if something has been neglected or included that shouldn't have been.

Here is an example of the framework that I am speaking about from SPACE-TRIS. You can see that nothing much goes into it ... just an overview of the module more or less.
