# VisualNQC
An iconic language to for the Lego MindStorms RCX, which generates NQC code. Support is included to facilitate integrating the NQC compilation and deployment processes. (This project was formerly known as fUNSoftWare.)
+This has personally been one of the more intriguing software finds for the RCX.
+
+Only one release and version of the source code were posted to the original [SourceForge project site](http://funsoftware.sourceforge.net/).
+Over the intervening period before republishing here, I have updated the project follows, but these updates never saw any response upstream.
+The earliest patches were posted to SourceForge [here](https://sourceforge.net/p/funsoftware/patches/1/).
+
+In particular, these modifications include the following:
+* Fixed bug preventing creation of arithmetic conditions (branch, loop) inside global event monitors
+* Enabled use of non-USB IR towers by checking the RCXTTY environment variable before defaulting to USB
+* Changed default file writes (e.g. config.txt, intermediate NQC code file) to occur under the user's directory to resolve permissions issues
+* Updated check in Windows for whether to use command.com or cmd.exe
+* Added a "Device" menu (for potential future enhancement; for now, is set to RCX2)
+* Modularized some property values into an AppProperties class
+* Changed window layout to increase the programming area; added UNSW CSE logo and URL to the about dialog
+* Updated GUI to be able resize well to other screen sizes; removed the manual screen resizing code and reworked the code to use components with built-in resizing capabilities.
+
+Development currently seems to work best with NetBeans IDE 8.2.
