Something tricky about MindScript is the way it handles whitespace around
certain things. I just noticed that I had written:
n^= 0
in my program. For a minute or two I was thinking that was using a ^=
operator on the variable n. But there isn't a ^= operator (which might
mean, if it existed, not-equals or exclusive-or-equals). The MindScript
compiler interprets all of the following identically:
n ^= 0
n ^ = 0
n^ = 0
n^= 0
n^=0
which compiles to:
set 36,-1,2,0
set 36,-1,2,0
set 36,-1,2,0
set 36,-1,2,0
set 36,-1,2,0
So be careful with your carets.
If you are interested in seeing the compiler output, by the way, you can add
-TRACE=15 to the Addition Switches via the Preferences dialog and then
examine the contents of the file vpbtrace.txt in the VPBrick2 subdirectory
under the Mindstorms SDK.
