Software or other way to mock-up my idea of game movement (programming.dev)

I'm starting to plan what would be my first game. I have a general idea of the movement system I want, but I'm unsure if it will work as I expect it.

Is there any software where I can make a sort of animated mock-up of what I have in mind?

Alternatively, how is this typically addressed in game development?

Thank you!

if the kids distract me when I'm in the middle of something, a certain amount of cursing might happen

That certain amount must be a rather fun one knowing his insulting prowess

You might as well timestamp it in c/programming@programming.dev

I think this timestamp-as-a-boolean is a good idea if the field is always going to be interpreted as either True or False and nothing more. If the field in question allows for a 3rd (uncertain) value, then using a timestamp would be extremely confusing.
