Does anyone use NXT-G? lol

Hardly coding, actually...I'll probably make a separate topic.

I remember using it for a while. Then I found Lejos. I have two NXT bricks, although one of them has a broken screen :(

Also, yeah, I believe it goes here.

ooh, this looks interesting.

There's also a Lua firmware.

hah, go figure. lua would be good for this sort of thing. it'd work kinda like turtles do in CC.

Add Visual Studio as an IDE.

Needs moar brainforget.

Oh yeah, I used to have an NXT thingy.

Then it took a who-the-hell-knows-what to something.
when I start it up it just endlessly clicks through the menues in one direction for a minute or so before turning off again.


Just dug up an old VB project. Gonna leave it here.
It's probably all messed-up and inefficient. But it does have some interesting concepts IIRC - like the little health dial that rotates around the player (instead of using a silly old meter.)
Wall of code.

It runs on a blank form, p much. It's 600x600, no border.

Edit: Comments added/cleaned.

[Kingdaro]

oh yeah, nice OP by the way. should add notepad++ under text editors though, that seems like a really popular one.

i really, really dislike visual basic. the keywords really shouldn't be capitalized. i hate capital letters (used in excess). also, why, of all keys, is ' the comment key? that could've been used to have the ability to use 'single quote strings'. now i have to press the shift key even more D:

but that's beside the point, it looks like a nice shooter game.

Yeah, it works pretty well for something using GDI+.

I released it on the forums a while back and everyone got all riled up about it being an .EXE file.
Wait. And apparently I never implemented keeping the player inside the screen. Hehe, oops.

[Trinick]

I've personally converted multiple people from notepad++ to Sublime Text 2. It really is better.

that's kind of important, lol

or maybe you could make the player loop to the opposite side of the screen when he goes out of one side?

Who needs some fancy program? If the thing NEEDS one (like Visual Basic), all right. But really. Notepad (not notepad++, notepad) is perfectly fine.

[Kingdaro]

i do dislike some things about sublime text, like in a lot of cases, it's smart tabbing severely fails (elseif doesn't go back a tab like else and end do) and i can't disable it without disabling automatic tabbing altogether.

but hey, build systems.

Probably one of the only things regarding programming style that we'll agree on.

ST2 could do this too, last time I checked.

oh god i meant to say sublime text in that post

Yeah, that bugs me too. However, you can use ctrl+pgup/down to switch tabs "back and forth" regularly. You should even be able to keybind this to ctrl+(shift+)tab if you want to.
