You have to realize we're not at all fighting.  We've somehow garnered an
incredible ability to trash talk over the last few years.


As a person whos programmed at every level of the machine, microcode, machine
code, assembly code, high level code, I can tell you that in tight coding
environments, keeping the variables to a minimum sure makes the code easier

Variables in your own code.  The firmware is still handling all those IFs in the
background.

The pile of IFs is also just as unreadable and hard to understand. :)

  I did this by getting rid of all but 2 of his variables, and adding more code.

You see, given the Chris tactic, he'd say "Well, those 40 variables worked okay
to begin with!"

work *without* using the RCX.  Using the RCX on every project would make things
too easy and it too much like work.

Well, if you're doing Steve-like games like Sumo, that's workable :)

Aren't in in New York?  You should come up!
