| It's been quite a while since I've posted (dagnabbit, it's been too long since I've built any robots), but I tackled the same issues in my earlier programming days. I tackled JavaScript and NQC at the same time. I found that they were very (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| Try Gordon's brick programmer. It's an interesting halfway house between Lego's graphical but rather limited offering and an actual written language like NQC. It's a free download, I just don't remember where it comes from at the moment. Maybe (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) Well, without doubt the most popular programming language for RCX (apart of the original Lego software) is NQC. It's easiest to use and most commonly seen - which means there are the most people out there to help you. However, if you really (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) Which is funny, because I read the webpage and it turns out you need to download 23MB of stuff and it ends up installing NQC on your system... (...) If you're a beginning programmer, I'd go with NQC for the simple reason that there are lots of (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)
