Finally got around to merging the main fork of Visual NXC with the Compiler fork. Some interesting new features added as well:

I'm thinking of adding a new feature... A sort of hybrid view that shows the blocks, but instead of a simplified piece of text to title the block it shows the actual code-behind.. Just a thought.

As long as that view is optional, that sounds good.

Or you could have a hover-over 'tool tip' appear that shows a few lines of the code whenever you hover over a block.

By 'hybrid', I am guessing you mean having two panels: the rendered blocks and the source code. (Sort of like Firebug or Chrome Developer Tools docked.)

Not quite... I'll work up a mock later if I have time.

Got bored and had Expression Web 4 on my hands :) Only took maybe 5-7 hours total.

Have a nice day,

You should make the header translucent. :)

BTW, instead of:

Code: Select all

Start: main()
End: main()
You could make it look like while().

Code: Select all

main()

    Rotate Motor Forward (Port A, 100%)
    Wait (2.5s)

    while (true)
        Wait(42ms)
        Wait(42ms)
        Wait(42ms)
    // End of while 'block'.

// End of main 'block'
