    Wow, that's the same as Crytec use (not the program you mention) when 
editing a map in the new Crysis game - flow graphs! After starting my own 
custom map, I find it fascinating to use. It looks so simple, join this 
command to that command, and see what happens. The logic node is probably 
the most used, but there's a stack of others to use in a map, like a physics 
node, math node, etc. It looks easy, but I'm sure there's a fair bit of code 
behind these nodes.
