-Is there a limited count of variables (like in NQC) or is it "unlimited"
(like in LegOS)?

"unlimited", to the extent of how much RAM you have. NQC is only limited
because it uses the RCX firmware. IC4/legOS/etc dont.

-And how about networking? is it supported, and how (RCX <-> RCX, RCX <->
PC, or both?)

I don't believe IC4 comes with any specific RCX<->RXC communication libraries.
But since the IC loader can talk to the IR tower, you always have the ability
to write your own routines to send/receive data via the IR port, and code your
own protocols. In theory you could even code up a lightweight IP stack... :-)

The docs are pretty thin, but there's a couple of PDFs in
http://www.kipr.org/ic/download/

There's an IC tutorial at http://www.kipr.org/curriculum/programming.html

Also check out the example programs that get installed. They're mostly written
for the Handyboard, but they give an idea of the programming environment that
Interactive-C provides.

Note: theres MacOS9, MacOSX, Linux and Windoze flavors too.

(...) I've just downloaded IC4 and played around whit it for a while and indeed,it looks pretty good. But now I have some small questions about it: -Is there a limited count of variables (like in NQC) or is it "unlimited" (like in LegOS)? -And how (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)
