Useful Resources

• Example: Crab Escape Game Summary
• Download: Visual Paradigm 12.2 (use the no install for Memory Sticks)
• Tutorial: Activating the Visual Paradigm Licence Key
• Tutorial: How to Draw use Case Diagrams in Visual Paradigm showing the basics.
• Tutorial: How to create effective Use Cases a Visual Paradigm tutorial on creating use cases and documenting them with a flow of events
• 6 min Video: How to Draw a Use Case Diagram.
• 12 min Video: What is a Use Case. Very clear on the whole but for your game diagram a Use Case should only represent one of the functions the computer performs. In this video a person is performing some of the actions e.g. plug phone in to recharge.
