This was about as cool as the year she gave me the 3,104-piece Lego Star Destroyer. (Especially since, when people see it in my cube, they usually remark, "My wife/girlfriend _won't_ let me get this.) Nichelle laughed at your remark. --Doug Wilcox (...) (17 years ago, 14-May-08, to lugnet.robotics)

Very good points, Brian. Because I'm accustomed to thinking in more "standard" programming structures, I have a tendency to try to make "the G" behave the same way it would as if I were working in Java, etc. It would be much more efficient to (...) (17 years ago, 13-May-08, to lugnet.robotics)

By the way, I was able to work around the main problem I was having (conditional loop termination didn't work) by building in a STOP block.

Given the frustrations I've had, I can't agree with the "10/10" ease of use rating that the BotMag comparison ( (URL) ) gave NXT-G. However, it does show that RobotC is, apparently, twice as easy to use as NXJ and NXC; that might be enough for me. (...) (17 years ago, 13-May-08, to lugnet.robotics)

It would seem RobotC and NXJ are about equal for the kinds of things I'm trying to do. Like many developers, I find coding without a full-featured IDE to be a bit painful.
