(...) Hi Brian, Yea, if someone wanted to be an editor of the /robotics/rcx/nqc/ area of the www.lugnet.com website, a code repository would be very easy indeed to set up on LUGNET.

Anyone interested in setting up a code repository for NQC? It could be a place to look for cut and paste routines that you could use in your project. If you had a cool piece of code that had some reuse value, then you could upload it to the (...) (25 years ago, 16-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Dave, Thanks for all the comments in the thread. As I have not looked at the API supplied by the firmware I did not realise that the NQC api was such a close match.

(...) No, that's not a big deal, I don't mind a "superset". Most of the NQC 2.0 changes were to make terminology consistent between RCX Code and NQC, etc. Dave (25 years ago, 15-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

That's all that really happens when I add new calls anyway. Anything that even remotely looks like a function call is either an inline function of a macro, and not part of the language itself. I guess the real question is if its appropriate to (...) (25 years ago, 15-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Dave, I like the finite coltrol of the motors myself but can understand the request. It may encourage the "younger" programmers to use the language.

I wrote first something like "It seems that this NQC newsgroup is not very active, but that's probably because NQC is 99.999% bug free and so is RCXCC...".
