I'm building a BrickCode Reader.
Basically it reads a stack of 2x2 bricks of various colors like a barcode.
I've managed to hack together a prototype BrickCode Reader.
I can feed it a stack of bricks and it beeps different tones based on which
color brick is passing the light sensor.
It's pretty neat actually. I plan on using this reader to make various
things such as player piano, or a programmable robot similar to the BarCode
Truck, etc.
Now, my problem is, I need to store these values in an array so I can use it
to control my robot.
Of course I could have performed the actions as I'm reading the BrickCode,
but I thought it would be neater if it scans the bricks, stores the values
in an array, then repeatedly perform the actions coded in the array.
I don't think NQC supports arrays, does it?
I hope I won't have to hardcode a bunch of variables to emulate an array
(yuck!)
Another way I thought of was to use the DataLog, but I could not find a way
to READ the data from NQC.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

| Depending on what the value in the array needs to be you could use a bitmap (e.g. if you want to store true/false to denote the presence of something)... you could then represent the decimal value of the "array" of ones and zeros ... so, for (...)
