(...) A NXT-C compiler which supports every NXT feature will not likely be done by BrickFest. I hope to have a first cut with partial support for the NXT features working within a couple weeks. My intent would be to incrementally add support for all (...) (18 years ago, 11-Jul-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Here's what I want: a) An environment that works like BricXCC that allows for edit, debug and compile from a graphical front end. b) A language which looks like C and supports proper function/variable passing (UNLIKE NQC). Not C#, not BASIC, (...) (18 years ago, 11-Jul-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) It will not be long before I will have a few high level languages working within BricxCC for the NXT. I am working on Basic, Pascal, and C at the moment.

(...) It is an ARM based thing, so if the internals are well known enough, maybe GCC can be made to compile for it as a target. I suppose it would just be targetting the arm, and then finding the right stuff to upload the code. Then comes the (...) (18 years ago, 11-Jul-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Chris, Fair enough. I thought you were a NQC fan/user, that is why I mentioned it. I too would welcome something VB/VBscript-like based as well. Oddly, I have done some PDA app development and would only use VB to do it as it comes naturtally (...) (18 years ago, 11-Jul-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Chris, Have you seen/tried RobotC yet? I have been toying around with it (after trying NBC for oh... 10 minutes then giving up - Assembly is not my forte) and it is much like BriXCC / NQC. C#-based and works quite well. I am in the midst of (...) (18 years ago, 11-Jul-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
