5.3. Type

Native byte-code compiler.

5.4. Language

A C-like language, called (of course) Not Quite C. Should be pretty easy to learn for anyone with even minimal coding experience. .:: ml007.k12.sd.us ::.

5.5. Platforms

GNU/Linux, MS Windows, and Macintosh.

5.6. Description

NQC is a byte-code compiler that takes programs written in a C-like syntax and compiles it (on the PC) into byte-code that can be understood by the standard Lego firmware. This approach has strengths and drawbacks: for example, the standard firmware can handle only 32 variables and so NQC is similarly limited. However, you can do a surprising amount within these limitations. Setup is pretty simple and the project as a whole is very well documented. This is also probably the most popular alternative programming system, so there are a lot of people willing and ready to help out if you start using NQC. .:: vuf.minagricultura.gov.co ::.

As already mentioned, NQC is the only option (right now) that supports the Cybermaster and Scout products under Linux. Furthermore, a beta version of it works with version 2.0 of the firmware, making it the first alternative programming system to support the added functionality of the new firmware.
