 Re: ROBOTC for Mindstorms 1.56 Alpha
hi Xander, I always have been curious about the meaning of the numbers behind the "1." Now I think I got it: it's the number of new bugs included in this version!

 Re: ROBOTC for Mindstorms 1.56 Alpha
Ford, Haha, well you know with every new bug fix, 2 new bugs pop up. It's the nature of software design. Many bugs were fixed though, including a lot of nasty struct/array stuff. The best part of all is that ubytes are now truly unsigned and will convert to signed ints properly  Also remember this is an alpha release, so it's designed to blow up when you least expect it. So far I haven't come across any show stoppers. Regards, Xander

 Re: ROBOTC for Mindstorms 1.56 Alpha
I'll try and have something by end of weekend... If not, monday for sure. We like to space out releases by a specific formula: ((Ford's Trolling Post) + (Ford's off-topic replies) - (Xander's useful posts) )* New Version Number = Release distance in days

 Re: ROBOTC for Mindstorms 1.56 Alpha
ah, so let's try: ((FTP+FOR)-(XUP))*VNR ~=((10+1)-10)*1.54= =1*1.54 =1.54 ~=2 2 days, that's a time space we may be able to live with.
