(I've been trying to post this message since Thursday, but still can't figure out how to do it by sending an email. Here goes trying with a web-post.) I just got my NXT in the mail yesterday. I just thought I'd post some impressions ;). Shipping & (...) (18 years ago, 8-Jul-06, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

(...) Agreed. Although if it had full strong parsing ability, you could use the string variables as arrays. But yeah, I really miss (&, for somethings, need) arrays. Data structures I can do without (or roll my own with arrays). (...) As I'm sure (...) (18 years ago, 8-Jul-06, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

(...) 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 (...) (18 years ago, 8-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 (...) (18 years ago, 9-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 (...) (18 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

(...) 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 (18 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 (...) (18 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

(...) 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 (...) (18 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.org.us.smart)
