Why oh why?

Don't you just hate it when you spend a good amount of time on some code that you think is going to shrink your program, but then actually makes it larger?  It makes me so sad. :-( I was trying to shrink the Bluetooth code in NXText earlier this morning, and it turns out that after spending a lot of time on it, I just make the code larger.  I have also run into a strange error when using NXText.  Sometimes when I start the program (after starting it and quitting it several times) the menu and the list of files doesn't even show up!  The only fix is to reboot the NXT.  I hope that this error will disappear without me having to do some serious investigation.  So, what programs have you guys been up to lately?  I know that mike1 is working on ChatChatV1 BETA, Robolab 2.9 is working on the On-Brick Programmer, and NXTboy is working on his File Browser.  Can't wait till they all come out!  Feel free to tell me what you are working on!

Managing large programs in NXC

So in the process of porting NXText to NXC, I have found that it can be more confusing and trickier to manage a large NXC program.  Why?  Because the program is composed of lines of text, and those lines of text build up and all look alike!  Also, debugging an NXC program can be very painful.  I hope that someday there will be a debugger for NXC.  NXTFreak

Porting NXText over to NXC...

Yup, you heard right. I am trying to port my NXT program NXText from NXT-G to NXC. In the NXC version, the touch sensor will no longer be needed as a back button, for it will be replaced by the NXT's grey button. Also, the need to type in the name of the file you want to open will no longer be needed; a menu of selectable files will replace it. It's comin' along, but because school has been taking up most of my time, the development has been slow. I just can't wait till I finish it! NXTFreak
