Re: wishlist for NXC

I am working on some games, and for the graphics to look best, I want to clear only part of the screen, not the entire screen. (Clearing the entire screen creates flicker.)

Re: NXC Read/Write Help

I modified your code, and I found out that the nxt is ok with numbers, but does not like strings. // File I/O void ReadFile() { string sFileName="myfile.dat"; unsigned int nFileSize; byte fHandle; int IOresult; int mydata1, mydata2, mydata3, mydata4, mydata5, mydata6; /*string mydata1, myd...

Re: NXT crash in middle of program

I modified your program, but I can't test it. It is now modular-ized. The new format might be easier to debug.
