Don't worry, I'm here.
As of right now, I am planning on updating at least RoboEmu (RoboGUI is a mess right now, and I don't think it's anywhere near as popular). As for cross-platform compatibility, that's definately in the plans.
A few problems:
a) RoboEmu will basically need to be gutted and re-written from the ground up.
b) I'm not on a team and have no controller to test things with.
c) I haven't seen a formal spec for the language yet. (Please don't say implement all of C. That's about the same as writing a C compiler, which is a HUGE project and one that I doubt anyone here has the time to take on).
So, that said, here's what I need from you guys:
1. can somebody find me the language spec?
2. are you all willing to test code for me?
3. please be patient. I love working on RoboEmu, but this a gigantic change. Luckily, version 2.0, which I almost finished this summer, should be easier to adapt to the new controller and will be much easier to keep cross-platform compatible.
4. even though RoboEmu is GPL, so you are technically free to do whatever you want with it, I think it would be benneficial to coordinate everything through me so that somebody doesn't end up duplicating work I've already done.
Remember, competition doesn't start until January. I will definately try to have something done significantly before that.
