Dave and others-
I'm actually very interested in using C++ with the RCX. C++ is what our
intro CS course is taught in at Duke, and we are looking to snag some of
those kids for a robotics course based (tentatively) on the RIS. I had
been planning on using legOS, but the transition to C might be messy for
some, and so any opportunity to use C++ instead would be great.
I've noticed (at least) John Tamplin, Dave Madden, and Markus Noga
mention C++ support of some type. Have any of you three (or anyone else)
come up with a solution? I'd volunteer to help, but I'm not sure how
useful I'll be (my knowledge of the hardware issues involved is meager at
best.)
Please fill me in if anyone has any thoughts on the matter-
Luis

| (...) Isn't writing in C easier than C++? Assuming they know the basics of the C language, I would have thought using functions is a simpler concept than methods. I'm just curious, rather than authoritive :) Richard (25 years ago, 7-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics)
