OK, I've already found part of the answer (shortly after posting, of course...). It appears that the "nbc" executable is both the NBC and the NXC compiler. I still can't find any documentation for how to use it, but if you invoke it with a "-help" (...) (17 years ago, 29-Aug-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, FTX)

OK, NXC sounds great, but I can't for the life of me figure out where to obtain it, or how I would use it once I had it. Note that I'm on Mac OS X, so (for example) the tutorial by Daniele Benedettelli doesn't do me any good, since it only describes (...) (17 years ago, 29-Aug-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Thanks, everyone, this is very helpful. (Thanks to Steve especially for that very handy comparison table.) I should have mentioned up front that I'm using a Mac, so that rules out a couple of otherwise interesting options. But NXC looks like a good (...) (17 years ago, 29-Aug-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

I have the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT ROBOTICS SET and since I'm so "into it", my father and I were thinking we could start up a Lego MindStorms NXT Meet up group/club in New York City where we could meet once a month (or every other month), build, (...)

If you go to Steve Hassenplug's site ((URL) you'll find a comparison of the various text based programming environments including NXC, ROBOTC, LUA, and JAVA.

Hi all, I recently got an NXT and have been having a blast. The iconic programming environment is driving me up a tree, however. So I'm looking for something else, but I'd like to avoid evaluating them all -- thus I turn to you for advice. I'm also (...) (17 years ago, 23-Aug-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
