Public Web Site for NXC Programs

Post by tabbycatrobots »

Is there a public web site for posting NXC programs, that then can be downloaded by the general public? I'm thinking
of something similar to how YouTube works for videos. There are 2 reasons I'm asking about this. First is I often learn
more about programming from reading through working programs, than by reading a book or a spec. I hope to see
some good examples of multi-tasking and multi NXT programs. The second reason is to post some of my line following
programs related to my MOC for BrickFair 2011. My MOC is a Formula 1 racetrack, and it will be open for several hours
of each day of the show, for any registrant to run their robots, and posting my programs may help some to build and
program their robots.

I don't know of any website to do this... However, I can look into hosting this functionality at my own site. No promises though.

Have a nice day,

The files on this site can be downloaded by non-member and I believe it is the intention of the mods on this site that it become the repository for both NXT-G and NXC programs.

Check out box.net/mindboards. PM me* with the subject "Join Mindboards Repository as Collaborator" if you want to become a collaborator.

*Or other collaborators! This would be more preferable. :D Box.net might even have a built-in "ask to collaborate" function, but I'm not sure.

why don't you just post your programs to the "projects" subforum and put in into code tags? That's the way I'm always doing (and others also do)...

Thank you for the ideas. I've started looking at box.net/mindboards and it appears that I can just zip my
code into one file and put it there. I'll also read more in the "projects" subforum and see if this might work.
My code is about 2000 lines in 7 files, and I wondered if this might be too much for an attachment in Mindboards.

Has anyone tried Codeplex [url=http://www.codeplex.com/]? It looks like it has been used for some FLL
projects - search lego, not lego nxt.

you may list the original code text in code tags or you may upload a .zip file of your code...!

Yeah, do what doc says. The box.net/mindboards is for large files, not the small text/.zip files that are used for NXC code. box.net/mindboards is intended for .RBTs, which can get quite large. For images, I'd recommend imageshack or something similar.

Thanks for the help and suggestions. I've posted my programs and other data to the "projects" subforum, as
suggested.
