Hi! I'm working on a project where a robot needs to travel a right triangle with unkown side lengths. Basically, the robot starts at a point in a room, travels perpendicularly toward a wall, turns 90 degrees left when it hits, and when it gets to (...)

Yesterday, I uploaded release 3.3.2.13 of BricxCC to my website: (URL) version fixes the access violation on calling the UpgradeRegistry method at startup (not all users encountered this problem). I am beginning to implement the "save desktop" (...) (23 years ago, 4-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) I'd be happy to leave the MDI world behind and switch to a tabbed page control for handling multiple files. But I would need to get a feel from the user community to see whether that would be a problem. There are some known problems with (...) (23 years ago, 2-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) I've discovered a really stupid bug in my code that was causing the access violations in version 3.3.2.12. This bug has been there since I introduced the registry upgrade feature (3.3.2.2) as far as I can determine. It has been fixed but I (...) (23 years ago, 2-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Will, it doesn't crash on my system, too. But I have to complain about the way maxed windows are handled. Try the following: - open new window - max it (now you can re-min it, too) - you see the little waving guy in the menu - open a new 2nd (...) (23 years ago, 2-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I've had reports of access violations and run time error 217 when trying to execute BricxCC version 3.3.2.12 (i.e., the most recently released version). It runs fine on my development machine but it exhibits this behavior on another PC in my house. (...) (23 years ago, 1-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) I guess I don't see so close a tie between the NQC code in a .NQC file and the brick type, port number, and program slot. A program running on RCX in slot 3 downloaded via COM4 could just as well run on an RCX2 in slot 1 downloaded via USB2. (...) (23 years ago, 29-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) In the simplest implementation (i.e., the one I'm likely to write) if you double click on an NQC file it will always open a new instance of BricxCC. That's the way it works right now. I may have it always bypass the "search" form when opening (...) (23 years ago, 29-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Hi John, I haven't installed the new version yet. Just a comment on my request. Your idea seems OK. However, this means you need two read two files. If I would have a look into my old.nqc file two months later I would see directly what settings (...) (23 years ago, 29-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) I think that's a reasonable approach. If I send a .nqc source file to someone using a CyberMaster connected to a diferent COM port, then this is a better solution. Also, by sending a .nqc that usually goes to Program 5 on my RCX, it won't (...) (23 years ago, 29-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
