| (...) Now you have ME wondering. Can we build 5 programs each with 10 tasks, each of these programs using all of the RAM, max program space, etc.? I have yet to do anything that ambitious, but it would be cool to switch behaviours by just changing (...) (25 years ago, 17-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

| | | | | Tasks vs. program slots
|
| I am curious to clarify something. The NQC documentation states that an NQC program can have up to 5 tasks (I think that's the right number). In addition, the brick itself has the 5 program slots. Are they related or is it a coincidence of (...) (25 years ago, 17-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Because it doesn't require an administrator it's easy for anyone to add the code/samples that they want. For NQC you can choose to add your links off: (...)

| 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.
