Start: main()/End: main()
You could make it look like while().
I would beg to differ, only because a task is not a loop, and I don't want any confusion as to the functionality of a task. However, some visual connector may become necessary.. Maybe just a line?

Code: Select all

┌─┤Start main()│
│  ‾˅˅˅‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾
│ │Rotate Motor A 90 degrees│
│  ‾˅˅˅‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾
│ │Wait 2.5s │
│  ‾˅˅˅‾‾‾‾‾‾
└─┤End main()│
Something like that :)

Howdy folks,

So, I'm using Visual NXC for my graduation project, and I need to do some surveying! If you all could please participate, that would be great! Results are more geared towards making Visual NXC into exactly what the community wants... So yeah, even if you don't support educational institutions, please participate!

Participate here!

Thanks!

Have a nice day,

Hey folks! I'm happy to announce that Visual NXC 0.2 is quickly approaching! "But," you say, "what new things are in it?"

Well, look for yourself! (P.S. It's best viewed in Fullscreen!)


Or download and compile the source code yourself! Get it here!

Have a nice day,

LOL, but we all know, that it (like any other program) will never be "done" or "completed".

It was an attempt to make the 'float' type understandable.. A new user seeing the word "float" isn't going to understand what it means.. I may just call it a "decimal" though, even though it's technically incorrect.
