Actually you can do Quantum Mechanics without making use of the wave equation, Heisenberg found a way of doing it about 6 months before Schrodinger discovered his equation. Both methods produced the same answer but Heisenberg's way was more abstract and for most (but not all) problems the calculations were more complex. Most physicists decided Quantum Mechanics was abstract and complex enough as it is so Schrodinger's Wave Equation is usually their first choice. In the same way if you were a working stiff who made his living writing quantum programs I suppose you could try to find the bug in your incomplete program by visualizing Copenhagen, but I think you'd get a better understanding of how your program works and the errors in it by visualizing Many Worlds.
