(...) I don't know how accurate the big wired article on NXT was, but it says pretty clearly it is 50/50 adults and kids. "Such loyalty isn't unusual among the fanboys who've swooned over Mindstorms since its 1998 debut. Four years after its (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

(...) Yeah, well,*I* am. There's already a Logical block that starts getting at this, but bit-wise opertations would be very nice to have sometimes. I agree, if we have arrays they should be arrays of anything (number, boolean, or string), but (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

Hello Shiri, Nice to hear from you, and congrats on graduating! The Wamalug dinner will be somewhere very close to a Metro stop, probably in Clarendon, very close to where BrickFest has been in the past. Hope to see you then! cheers Magnus (20 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.people, lugnet.org.us.wamalug, FTX)

(...) A copy of the MyBlock is not stored with the file that uses it. I've had several programs in NXT-G wind up broken because of changes to the MyBlock VIs they used. You definitely need to be very careful with MyBlocks. John Hansen (20 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

ScreenShot: (2 URLs) pretty self explanatory. It even shows three lines of help when you run it. I'm tempted to alter it to have two speeds. Sometimes the current speed is too fast. -S (20 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

(...) Well, they already have a boolean data type. If we have arrays, arrays of booleans doesn't seem like much of a stretch. I'm not asking for bit-wise Ands and Ors, Shirts or Rolls here ;). (but isn't something like 50% of their mindstorms (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

(...) Yep, I agree. It why one of the first things I did was write a MyBlock that would use file memory to hold and manage a 1-d array. Worked quite well, but it was slow, and I'm not sure what the ultimate read-write limits are on the flash memory (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jul-06, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

(...) Yay Wamalug! I hope I can make it. Like I told you by email, Fradel, I would love to come and will try to arrange the schedule so as to fit this in.

(...) All I'm asking for is fixed-size, global, 1-d arrays of numbers. I'd prefer floats or ints, but just ints (32 bit preferrably) would be fine. Arrays of Bits would be handy, too. There are many times when I'd like to make a 2D scan of an areas (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jul-06, to lugnet.org.us.smart)
