Typically, you programming with procedural mindset in an imperative language, but programming with mathematical mindset in a functional language. The difference in methodology would require difference in choices of methods / tactics.

Better to start with a graph-like visualisation to free the mind, then think through the possible interactions. Maybe add the typical text-like visualisation later. But don't start there or you'll just re-invent notepad for the nth time.
