I think there is some sort of simulator for Brickos, which basically
involves compiling for the native processor rather than the RCX.
But the issue isnt language -- its what do you use for simulating input and
output? The one I am referring to, I think you have to write C routines, so
its really just for debugging very low-level code.
If you are talking about the kind of simulator I was mentioning -- full 3D
graphics, physics, etc -- that emphatically does not exist, and will require
alot of work to build. I think it is doable though.
There is one example I know of simulating a real lego robot, its called
webots, and it is a commercial package. They have a simulator for a simple
line-following rover. I am not clear on how much work it would be to
simulate other lego bots, but I get the impression its not really
lego-centric. You would have to design all the Lego features by hand, ie
figure out measurements, etc., and I doubt that a good majority of the
things you could build would be possible to simulate.

| If you were a little sneaky, you could probably design some of the basics with LDraw, and then use a Perl script or something to convert it... That is what I would attempt to do. Orion (20 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.robotics)
