Ive never liked flowcharts, I always plan things out in my head and never need to have it written down. Basically, just write the statements that are in "my first method" in an English sentence in boxes, going one at a time. For instance the first box would say "Get the height of the jump and the amount of spins from the user", and you would put that in a box. Then draw an arrow down and make another box that says "Move the astronaut up the height needed" and then another arrow, then "Make the astronaut spin the amount of times that the user asked for", and so on (I can't tell you every box or else I would be doing your homework for you).

Its not that hard, and usually you do this first before you make the program. This might actually be helpful to you. Before making your next program, you should make a flowchart describing exactly what you want to do, like I just explained above. Then once you see what you want, you can make that in the program. This is best for people who need instructions on how to do things, but I am the kind of person that likes to fix things and learn as I go along, so I personally do not use flowcharts.
