Actually yes. And it is not equivalent to your programs. snip

The CEEO example you cite is much more complex. It loops, playing 1 tone while the touch sensor is released, and a 2nd tone while the touch sensor is pressed. Once the 2nd tone has played 6 times, a final third tone plays. Note that it has nothing to do w/the number of times the sensor is clicked.

The page from which the original image came(http://www.ceeo.tufts.edu/graphics/robolab/container01.htm) says this:

“In this program, the RCX will continue beeping until the button is pressed six times. The container keeps track of each time the button is pressed.”

Having no way to tell simply by examining the iconic representation of the program I had to assume the description was accurate. Apparently it was not.

Do the folks at CEEO not know how to describe the functionality of their own sample code? :-)

My programs were actually more complex than the CEEO example since they demonstrate the use of multitasking and event handling which are more technically advanced features of the RCX firmware.
