Next Byte Codes (NBC) is a simple language with an assembly language syntax
that can be used to program LEGO's NXT programmable brick (from the new LEGO
Mindstorms NXT set).
.
Not eXactly C (NXC) is a high level language, similar to C, built on top of the
NBC compiler. It can also be used to program the NXT brick. NXC is basically
NQC for the NXT. To compile NXC programs just use the NBC compiler with source
code files that have a .nxc file extension.
.
If you are just getting started with programming, then graphical environments
such as the Mindstorms NXT software may be better choices for you. If, however,
you're a programmer and you prefer typing a few lines to drag and drop icon
programming, then either NBC or NXC may be perfect for you.
