Ha Ha, very funny :-)
Seriously, Philippe, why not give pbForth a try? I know that NQC works great
on both the Spybots and the RCX, and even Cybermaster.
But if you're looking for speed, higher precision, lots of variables
and generally more horsepower without the BrickOS complexity....
I've just added basic DCC to the kernel and separated pbForth into
three flavours, basic, servo enabled, and DCC enabled.
I'm adding more and more tutorials as we move along, and I'm still actively
developing pbForth - recent RCX rumors notwithstanding.
Cheers, Ralph
