    R21 - Robot Status —Chris Magno
    So, just cause I miss the old days of R20 and the sharing: so, what kind of robots are you going to bring so that my robot can tug them to the floor? anyone? anyone? bueller? Chris (18 years ago, 9-Jul-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

   (...) It's looking to be a non-existant one. :) With our workload ramping up again, and the fact that not only did I book vacation that weekend, but also there's a race that weekend I'm suposed to be in, I'm definately out... :( Surprise surprise...

      (...) Yes, you could call it the rtlToronto nXt-Prize. A prize for the first person to write an IDE and compiler that Chris (and for that matter me, since I would like one) likes.

      (...) 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.

         Re: BASIC for the NXT was Re: R21 - Robot Status —Dave Astolfo
      (...) 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)

      (...) Dave, I did download it, never really started to get into it. I saw it was trial-ware. While I can appreciate Dick wanted to recoup something for his effort, I still have a dream.

          Re: BASIC for the NXT was Re: R21 - Robot Status —Dave Astolfo
      (...) 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)
     
          Re: BASIC for the NXT was Re: R21 - Robot Status —John Hansen
      (...) Dave, NQC is not at all like C#. Neither is RobotC. Are you sure that is what you mean? John Hansen (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).

         Re: BASIC for the NXT was Re: R21 - Robot Status —Lamar Ledford
     I think that $25,000 should inspire someone to write a basic compiler that spits out NXT Byte code. You could even get by if the compiler was written based using a non-enterprise version of basic. Lamar A retired system programmer/analyst "Chris (...)
