Re: VEX programming

Easy C 1.1 supports user statements Not user functions. Easy C 2.0 supports user functions, global variables and some other enhancements. You can do quite allot with the 1.1 version. The problem is the code gets very long and convoluted. Being able to create user functions makes things easier and more readable. If this is for a Vex competition the 2.0 upgrade is free. The educational upgrade I believe is 25. Else they want 50$. Radio shack is not supporting 1.1 to 2.0 upgrades. You have to go threw intelitek. In my opinion 50 bucks is allot to pay for some thing that should have been released at the 2.0 level in the first place. There are allot of other improvements needed and I'm afraid Intelitek may try to put everyone on the upgrade tread mill.
