There are multiple ways in BricxCC to remotely control the RCX. You can use
the Brick Joystick (which is pretty cool) to control motor outputs via a
joystick or other game controller. You can use the Direct Control dialog to
control outputs and configure sensors. You can use the Remote dialog (a
relatively recent addition to BricxCC) just like the Lego Remote Control.
That being said, I'd just like to add that BricxCC is not simply or
primarily an NQC GUI front-end. The greatest benefits from BricxCC involve
things which do not directly involve NQC. The various tool windows are
hugely beneficial - especially the Watch & Datalog windows both of which
provide extensive graphing of sensor or datalog data. The editor is,
itself, a very powerful and full-featured program editor.
Yes, you can execute the NQC compiler from within BricxCC and interact with
the compiler in meaningful ways (like viewing errors and compiler-generated
LASM/bytecodes). But recently BricxCC has begun to introduce support for
other PBrick languages - PbForth, LASM, MindScript, Java, and C++ are all
supported to varying degrees. LASM & MindScript can be compiled/downloaded
via BricxCC - with nearly the same degree of integration as exists with NQC.
Eventually users will be able to download PbForth programs and interact
directly with the PbForth firmware via a console window. And it is
conceivable that at some point in the not too far distant future users will
be able to compile and download Java & C++ programs using BricxCC as their
IDE if they have Lejos or BrickOs firmwares installed on their RCX bricks.
BricxCC loves being the very best IDE for NQC development. But it is so
much more than just that.

| There are many. Brixcc, which is primarily and NQC GUI front-end, has a remote control dialog. Take a look at Lego Mindstorms Internals (URL) for a jump-start on all the (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics)
