Anyone know anything about LOLcode?

We wanna program our robot in this and we only have a little bit accomplished, so what should we do?

Sorry to be so blunt, but: although LOLcode is funny, you should use a real programming language.

You'd have to write an interpreter to convert LOLcode into one of the other languages (C++ or Java), which would require actually defining a lot of things about LOLcode and porting the libraries. Not worth it...

You are still in week one (for another day), no way are you too far along now. Seriously, use a real programming language. Lolcode is far too silly and unprofessional.

Re: Anyone know anything about LOLcode?

LOLcode is beast. I've used a Java interpreter for it once - it would definitely be worth it. You would probably get a standing ovation from everyone for it!

I agree with Andy.

It's ok to be unprofessional if it's hilarious but what the heck?

Re: Anyone know anything about LOLcode?

If your mentors are fine with it, and you really want to waste your time, go ahead. Your mentors don't put in hours for you to port WPILib in to LOLCode.

Imagine if they won the Championships with LOLCode. That would be a worthy achievement.

But seriously - don't.
