I can see the images.

Are/were you by any chance using a school network? They sometimes block unknown websites.

On-topic:
I've set up a SF project for it... Nothing there yet, so I won't bother linking.

Have a nice day,

Found it! The power of Google! BTW, the NEU-NXC was supposed to be a joke. :lol:

Also, don't you have a Gravatar yet?

Yeah, I know "Not Entirely Unlike: Not eXactly C" was a joke :) But it can be canon, I don't care haha :) Yes, I do have a Gravatar, but for some reason it was attatched to my @yahoo.com (the email I registered on SF with), and not my @sf.net address, which is what it needs. But I've fixed it now.. :D For some reason TortiseSVN isn't letting me use the SVN repository though.. :evil: Won't ask me for username/pass.... :|

I've also created a sort of mock-up style for the blocks... This is very rough, but tell me what you all think. Does it need to be softer? Or are we ok with a slightly harsher style, visually?

Looks decent to me. Could you make it in such a way, that later you could change the appearance without messing everything up? I like it.

it's really looking good.
Although I'll probably not use grafical programming environment, I nevertheless am curious how you will handle multi-I/O blocks like

Good luck anyway!

Well, I've managed to get the code uploaded to the SourceForge project.. You can view it here, if you're a .NET/Mono developer and want to check out the code. There'll also be a wiki about how to use it, once it's done, and possibly even some basic NXC documentation.

I'm drawing my inspiration from MIT's Scratch.. So multiple inputs shouldn't be a problem, as long as I keep them organized.

Have a niced day,

Just added basic support for rendering the actual blocks.. So far it supports rectangular blocks of any color, that can be attached with that little 'tab' puzzle thinger. ;)

Next I'll add support for 'loop' shaped blocks, and maybe a special shape for 'if-else' blocks...

Nice!
if you'll once have finished this V-NXC:
maybe V-OSEK could be the NeXT step...
and probably you'll win a new fan for GUI-programming languages... :)
