A tour of the Flowgraph Editor
Flowgraphs are saved on the disk as XML files, but can be parsed and edited by the Flowgraph Editor in order to provide a visual interface to the process of creating game logic.
Components
This section of the Editor contains all the flownodes in your project, organized into neat categories. Let's take a quick look inside this, open up the Misc folder. You should be presented with a set of nodes, assigned to categories:
